Johan Hovold bba38b8748 rtc: pm8xxx: add support for uefi offset ...

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).
