Enable the RTC crystal oscillator bit in the control register (RTC_CTRL,
offset 0x40) during driver initialization.
Although the RTC_OSC_EN macro was defined when the driver was originally
introduced, it was never asserted in xlnx_init_rtc(). On cold boots, after
battery exhaustion, or on platforms where firmware does not pre-initialize
RTC_CTRL, the oscillator remains disabled and the counter never ticks.
Asserting RTC_OSC_EN alongside RTC_BATT_EN ensures the oscillator starts
without relying on bootloader initialization. Per the Zynq UltraScale+
TRM (UG1085), bit 24 (OSC_CNTRL) is a static level enable for the crystal
inverter rather than an edge-triggered reset; re-asserting it when the
oscillator is already running is a non-destructive no-op that does not
glitch or reset the ticking counters.
Tested on Zynq UltraScale+ hardware, confirming that the counter freezes
when RTC_OSC_EN is cleared, advances reliably once enabled, and is
unaffected when re-asserted while running.
