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 the
driver can take into account.
Add support for storing a 32-bit offset from the GPS time epoch in a
UEFI variable so that the RTC time can be set on such platforms.
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.
Note that this format is not arbitrary as the variable is shared with
the UEFI firmware (and Windows).

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.
