Thank you so much ~ not sure if we could have the following change ?

Use `access(rtc_file, R_OK)` to check read permission on
`/dev/rtc0` in main(). And user could try to figure out why cannot
access rtc file by themselves.

Thanks for helping to review our test again. Our original intention was
to check whether miss the efi kernel patch on target testing kernel.

I verified it and make sure we still could use RTC_PARAM_GET for our
testing on new kernel (> 5.16). If the target testing kernel miss the
efi patch, rtctest could detect the RTC_FEATURE_ALARM was enabled and
the RTC_WKALM_SET will report error due to efi.set_wakeup_time() return
EFI_UNSUPPORTED (3).

	rc = ioctl(self->fd, RTC_WKALM_SET, &alarm);
	ASSERT_NE(-1, rc);

And if the efi patch has been applied and it clears RTC_FEATURE_ALARM,
we could use the RTC_PARAM_GET to know rtc feature was disabled. So the
rtctest will skip the testing without reporting errors. That behavior is
what we expect.

Not sure if that work for you ?

Thank you,
Joseph.
