The SC8280XP CRD firmware does not implement the UEFI time runtime services so the RTC in the PM8280K PMIC needs to be accessed directly. To complicate things further, the RTC control and time registers are read-only on this platform so an offset must be stored in some other machine-specific non-volatile memory which an RTC driver can take into account when reading or updating the time. The UEFI firmware (and Windows) use a UEFI variable for this: 882f8c2b-9646-435f-8de5-f208ff80c1bd-RTCInfo but the offset can only be accessed via the Qualcomm UEFI Secure Application residing in the TEE as the firmware does not implement the variable runtime services either. While it is possible to access this UEFI variable from Linux on the CRD, this requires using a fairly complex and reverse-engineered firmware interface. As the only benefit of doing so is to make sure that the UEFI (Windows) and Linux time never gets out of sync, it seems preferable to use the PMIC scratch registers for storing an offset instead. This also avoids flash wear in case of RTC drift, etc. Also note that setting variables using this interface does not work on at least one CRD for reasons not yet known. So instead of using the UEFI RTC offset, reserve four bytes in one of the PMIC SDAM scratch-register blocks to hold the RTC offset.
