    rtc: Disable EFI rtc for x86 · 7efe6659
    Matt Fleming authored
    commit da167ad7 ("rtc: ia64: allow other architectures to use EFI
    RTC") inadvertently introduced a regression for x86 because we've been
    careful not to enable the EFI rtc driver due to the generally buggy
    implementations of the time-related EFI runtime services.
    
    In fact, since the above commit was merged we've seen reports of crashes
    on 32-bit tablets,
    
      https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=84241#c21
    
    Disable it explicitly for x86 so that we don't give users false hope
    that this driver will work - it won't, and your machine is likely to
    crash.
