Contribution description

current samd5 initialization is strange and might fail ( hardware dependant) while initializing this fixes that.
The failure is know a POR issue.

  • valid clock XOSC32 startup time
  • avoid gclk roundtrip for FDPLL when XOSC32 is used

Testing procedure

read and compare to documentation

I tested this PR with hardware that reliably fails with the old initialization code. With this patch the MCU reliably boots and the RTC is still correct to the second.
