rtc: stmp3xxx: use optional crystal in low power states



The rtc's status register allows to determine if a 32k crystal is
connected to keep the rtc running in low power states provided the
corresponding fuse bits were blown correctly during production.  (In case
they were not, the right frequency can be stated in the device tree.) If
there is no such crystal available force the 24 MHz XTAL clock to keep
running to retain the right date and time.  Otherwise use the crystal to
save some power.

It would be nice to only switch to the crystal when the XTAL clock is
about to be disabled and keep the crystal off when unneeded because XTAL
is always on while the chip is powered on.  But as sudden power loss isn't
detectable this is not save.
