Ok, I see. So your patch here has no effect at all and can be dropped, or
we can remove the 'select RTC_LIB' without the EFI dependency.

but that is the wrong driver that uses the legacy API, we cannot have that
on ARM because it conflicts with the normal RTC_CLASS drivers.

The driver you want is RTC_DRV_EFI, not EFI_RTC.
