This is what I confused, the same signal pins available there in A64
schematics but no bit to enable external OSC in LOSC_CTRL_REG.

But the X32KFOUT pin which is 0x60 , BIT(0) is enabled in A64, H6 w/o
this LOSC_CTRL_REG which I don't know exactly or may be feed it by
default not sure.

Yes, I understand this. But for A33, A64 there is no EXT_LOSC_EN which
is directly feed to WIFI from LOSC as per manual but from schematic
signals X32KI and X32KO were present.

From external crystal point of view, between A33, A64 vs H6 I only see
the difference in EXT_LOSC_EN external oscillator enable bit only
available in H6 manual.

Regarding, rtc-sun6i. we can manage the external clock stuff via
"clock-output-names" with rtc->ext_losc and mentioning external
oscillator outputs on DTSI. since A31, don't have external clock to
wifi then we can skip those properties.

What do you think?
