  CONFIG_RTC_INTF_DEV_UIE_EMUL
    Provides an emulation for RTC_UIE if the underlying rtc chip
    driver does not expose RTC_UIE ioctls. Those requests generate
    once-per-second update interrupts, used for synchronization.

    The emulation code will read the time from the hardware
    clock several times per second, please enable this option
    only if you know that you really need it.
