/**
 * \defgroup hal_rtc RTC hal
 *
 * The RTC hal provides a low level interface to the Real Time Counter (RTC) of a
 * target.
 *
 * # Defined behaviour
 * * The function ::rtc_init is safe to call repeatedly - Verified by test ::rtc_init_test.
 * * RTC accuracy is at least 10% - Verified by test ::rtc_accuracy_test.
 * * Init/free doesn't stop RTC from counting - Verified by test ::rtc_persist_test.
 * * Software reset doesn't stop RTC from counting - Verified by test ::rtc_reset_test.
 * * Sleep modes don't stop RTC from counting - Verified by test ::rtc_sleep_test.
 * * Shutdown mode doesn't stop RTC from counting - Not verified.
 * * The functions ::rtc_write/::rtc_read provides availability to set/get RTC time
 * - Verified by test ::rtc_write_read_test.
 * * The functions ::rtc_isenabled returns 1 if the RTC is counting and the time has been set,
 * 0 otherwise - Verified by test ::rtc_enabled_test.
 *
 * # Undefined behaviour
 * * Calling any function other than ::rtc_init before the initialisation of the RTC
 *
 * # Potential bugs
 * * Incorrect overflow handling - Verified by ::rtc_range_test
 * * Glitches due to ripple counter - Verified by ::rtc_glitch_test
 *

/** Initialize the RTC peripheral
 *
 * Powerup the RTC in perpetration for access. This function must be called
 * before any other RTC functions ares called. This does not change the state
 * of the RTC. It just enables access to it.
 *
 * @note This function is safe to call repeatedly - Tested by ::rtc_init_test
 *
 * Example Implementation Pseudo Code:
 * @code
 * void rtc_init()
 * {
 *     // Enable clock gate so processor can read RTC registers
 *     POWER_CTRL |= POWER_CTRL_RTC_Msk;
 *
 *     // See if the RTC is already setup

 *         RTC_CTRL |= RTC_CTRL_CLK32_Msk;
 *     }

 *
 * Powerdown the RTC in preparation for sleep, powerdown or reset. That should only
 * affect the CPU domain and not the time keeping logic.
 * After this function is called no other RTC functions should be called
 * except for ::rtc_init.
 *
 * @note This function does not stop the RTC from counting - Tested by ::rtc_persist_test
 *
 * Example Implementation Pseudo Code:
 * @code

 *     POWER_CTRL &= ~POWER_CTRL_RTC_Msk;

 * The test ::rtc_glitch_test is intended to catch this bug.
 *
 * Example implementation for an unsynchronized ripple counter:
 * @code
 * time_t rtc_read()
 * {
 *     uint32_t val;
 *     uint32_t last_val;
 *
