This series adds support for setting the RTC time on Qualcomm platforms
where the PMIC RTC time registers are read-only by instead storing an
offset in some other non-volatile memory. This is used to enable the RTC
in the SC8280XP Compute Reference Design (CRD) and Lenovo Thinkpad X13s
laptop.

The RTCs in many Qualcomm devices are effectively broken due to the time
registers being read-only. Instead some other non-volatile memory can be
used to store and offset which a driver can take into account. On
machines like the X13s, the UEFI firmware (and Windows) use a UEFI
variable for storing such an offset, but not all Qualcomm systems use
UEFI.

The Qualcomm firmware also does not support any UEFI runtime services,
but Maximilian Luz recently posted a driver for talking to the secure
world directly through the SCM interface and this can be used to access
the UEFI variables:

	https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220723224949.1089973-1-luzmaximilian@gmail.com/

I was initially told that the PMICs in the X13s did not have any spare
battery-backed registers which could have been used to store an RTC
offset so there seemed to be no alternative to try using the UEFI
offset. In the processes however, I learnt that there are in fact some
registers in PMIC that could be used, at least on the SC8280XP CRD and
the X13s. 

This was especially fortunate as it turned out that the firmware on the
CRD does not allow updating the UEFI RTC offset even if this works on
the X13s.

As the benefit of sharing the RTC offset with the UEFI firmware (and
Windows) is rather small (e.g. to make sure they never get out sync), I
instead opted for using the PMIC registers on both machines. This also
avoids relying on a fairly complex reverse-engineered firmware driver,
as well as potential issues like flash wear due to RTC drift. Let's keep
it simple.

But as there could be older Qualcomm UEFI machines out there where we
don't have any other non-volatile storage I included the UEFI patches
here as an RFC for reference. In case it turns out there are systems out
there were this could be used, those two patches could be merged as
well. An alternative could be to see if Maximilian's work could be
extended to access the time services directly.

This series first fixes a few issues with the current Qualcomm PMIC RTC
driver before cleaning it up a bit so that support for setting the time
using an offset stored in an nvmem cell can be added.

The two RFC patches on top, add support for the Qualcomm UEFI RTC offset
and are not intended to be merged just yet. Note that these two also
depend on an efi core patch that has been merged for 6.3:

	https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230119164255.28091-1-johan+linaro@kernel.org/

The final patches enables the RTC on the SC8280XP CRD and X13s and can
be merged by Bjorn once the (non-UEFI) RTC patches are in.

Note that for the SDAM nvmem driver to be autoloaded when built as a
module, you also need this fix:
