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 driver probes.
Use the new 'qcom,uefi-rtc-info' property to determine whether to probe
defer until the UEFI offset becomes available so that the offset can be
used also when the RTC driver is built in or when a dependency of the
UEFI variable driver is built as a module (e.g. the driver for the SCM
interconnects).

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.
