Subject: [PATCH 1/7] dt-bindings: rtc: qcom-pm8xxx: add uefi-variable offset

On many Qualcomm platforms the PMIC RTC control and time registers are
read-only so that the RTC time can not be updated. Instead an offset
needs be stored in some machine-specific non-volatile memory, which a
driver can take into account.

Add a 'qcom,uefi-rtc-info' boolean flag which indicates that the RTC
offset is stored in a Qualcomm specific UEFI variable so that the RTC
time can be updated on such platforms.

The UEFI variable is

	882f8c2b-9646-435f-8de5-f208ff80c1bd-RTCInfo

and holds a 12-byte structure where the first four bytes is a GPS time
offset in little-endian byte order.
