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.

Switch to using the Qualcomm specific UEFI variable that is used by the
UEFI firmware (and Windows) to store the RTC offset.

This specifically means that the RTC time will be synchronised between
the UEFI firmware setup (or UEFI shell), Windows and Linux.

Note however that Windows stores the RTC time in local time by default,
while Linux typically uses UTC (i.e. as on X86).

Based on a patch by Johan Hovold. [1]

This is a patch to switch the Windows Dev Kit 2023 over to
using the UEFI offset.

My bot found new DTB warnings on the .dts files added or changed in this
series.

Some warnings may be from an existing SoC .dtsi. Or perhaps the warnings
are fixed by another series. Ultimately, it is up to the platform
maintainer whether these warnings are acceptable or not. No need to reply
unless the platform maintainer has comments.

If you already ran DT checks and didn't see these error(s), then
make sure dt-schema is up to date:

  pip3 install dtschema --upgrade


New warnings running 'make CHECK_DTBS=y for arch/arm64/boot/dts/qcom/' for 20250122-jg-blackrock-rtc-v1-1-3b05cd85bdfa@oldschoolsolutions.biz:
