Make this
compatible = "renesas,raa215300-isl1208", "isil,isl1208";
Btw, it would be nice to convert
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/rtc/isil,isl1208.txt to YAML.

This isn't nice. I would instead add a renesas,invert-xtoscb boolean
property. If you don't want different DT sources for different revisions
of the PMIC, one option is to perform the auto-detection in the boot
loader and update the DT dynamically there.
