[Problem Description]
Hi,

A proposed patch to Linux uses EFI GetTime service to get the wall clock time.
It seems this function does not work properly.
See http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/linux/kernel/1576468
I know I don't have the latest bios but the change logs don't mention any EFI change,
and upgrades make the settings lost, so I didn't try them.

Thanks,
