Hi,

The RTC used in the A31 and later SoC has an accuracy issue, which is
already significant even after a couple of hours.

This is due to the fact that the oscillator used by default is an internal
and very inaccurate one.

A first attempt at fixing that by switching to the external oscillator was
done in the patch "rtc: sun6i: Switch to the external oscillator". However,
it turned out to be problematic since it was tracked properly in the clock
framework, which might lead to some clocks being disabled, even though
their devices were not notified.

This is a second attempt, this time by making it part of the CCF. It
turned out to be a bit more complicated than one would expect since the mux
found inside the RTC also controls one of the input of the main clock unit.
Therefore, it needs to be probed before the main clock unit driver.

Let me know what you think,
Maxime
