Some products may not support MC146818 RTC CMOS device. Introduce a optional
'status' standard property for RTC-CMOS to indicate if the MC146818 RTC device
is available (status="okay") or not (status="disabled")

This needs to be converted to YAML

Well, I think the status property doesn't even need to be documented
because it is simply the generic behaviour.

Thanks for your comments. I now realize it. I will omit posting this again.
