** Description changed: == Impact == - Although we have CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS enabled and set CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS_DEVICE to "rtc0", system time would only be set if the RTC driver is built-in. This may not be an issue on most amd64 systems because CONFIG_RTC_DRV_CMOS is y for amd64, however it is an issue for other architectures since there may not be a proper RTC driver enabled as built-in. Also make every RTC driver that may be used as built-in is not a good option. + Although we have CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS enabled and set CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS_DEVICE to "rtc0", system time would only be set if the RTC driver is built-in.
