I see that reparenting is supported, but I'm not sure how to fix that in DT. 
Any suggestion?

In my case LOSC_CTRL_REG has value 0x4010 and LOSC_AUTO_SWT_STA_REG
has value 0x4, so there is issue with external crystal (it's missing) and RTC 
switched to internal one.

BTW, what's wrong with automatic switching? Why is it disabled?
