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).
