A driver is needed to enable/disable the RTC battery charging (unless uboot does it). However all the driver can do according to datasheet is configure the charge voltage/current or disable charging completely. Monitoring RTC battery is not possible, neither is presence detection.
So driver should just apply configuration it finds in device-tree and eventually share that information via power supply class.

It seems to have default OCV parameters as well. With empty RTC battery OCV values are present.
