ARM: dts: am335x-boneblack: disable RTC-only sleep to avoid hardware …

…damage

Avoid entering "RTC-only mode" at poweroff. It is unsupported by most
versions of BeagleBone, and risks hardware damage.

The damaging configuration is having system-power-controller
without ti,pmic-shutdown-controller.

* if you want to use RTC-only mode and made sure you are not affected
* by the hardware problems. (Tip: double-check by performing a current
* measurement after shutdown: it should be less than 1 mA.)
