On many Qualcomm platforms the PMIC RTC control and time registers are read-only so that the RTC time can not be updated. Instead an offset needs be stored in some machine-specific non-volatile memory, which a driver can take into account. On platforms where the offset is stored in a Qualcomm specific UEFI variable the variables are also accessed in a non-standard way, which means that the OS cannot assume that the variable service is available by the time the RTC driver probes. Add a 'qcom,uefi-rtc-info' boolean flag to indicate that the RTC offset is stored in a Qualcomm specific UEFI variable so that the OS can determine whether to wait for it to become available. The UEFI variable is 882f8c2b-9646-435f-8de5-f208ff80c1bd-RTCInfo and holds a 12-byte structure where the first four bytes is a GPS time offset in little-endian byte order.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
