This patch adds the dt-bindings for NXP S32G2/S32G3 SoCs RTC driver.

+properties:
+ compatible:
+ const: nxp,s32g-rtc

Also, how come there are not specific compatibles for the two SoCs
supported here?

Hello Conor,

The RTC module is the same for S32G2 and S32G3 SoCs.
Therefore, I did not wanted to add two compatible strings ('nxp,s32g2-rtc' and 'nxp,s32g3-rtc') when there is no actual difference which they could target.

Furthermore, in the future I plan to refactor the common part from [1] and [2] files into 's32g.dtsi'. Maybe then such common compatible strings would make more sense.
