The current implementation of rtc-efi is expecting all the 4
time services GET{SET}_TIME{WAKEUP} must be supported by UEFI
firmware. As per the EFI_RT_PROPERTIES_TABLE, the platform
specific implementations can choose to enable selective time
services based on the RTC device capabilities.
This patch does the following changes to provide GET/SET RTC
services on platforms that do not support the WAKEUP feature.
1) Relax time services cap check when creating a platform device.
2) Clear RTC_FEATURE_ALARM bit in the absence of WAKEUP services.
3) Conditional alarm entries in '/proc/driver/rtc'.

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 Restructured Text 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.
