Subject: rtc: ds1307: fix RX8130 wakeup alarm WADA bit for day-of-month mode

This commit fixes the RX8130 wakeup alarm by setting the WADA bit in the
Extension register so the day-of-month alarm works correctly, rather than
failing as an out-of-range day-of-week alarm.

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but could this read-modify-write sequence on 
the FLAG register (ctl[1]) silently clear asynchronous hardware flags like 
the Voltage Low Flag (VLF)?

Because the FLAG register uses write-0-to-clear semantics, any bits that
are read as 0 will be written back as 0. If a hardware flag like VLF is
asserted in the slow I2C window between regmap_bulk_read() and
regmap_bulk_write(), wouldn't writing back a 0 accidentally clear it and
potentially hide an oscillator failure from userspace?

This same read-modify-write pattern also appears to be present during
interrupt handling in rx8130_irq().
