Hello,
This series started as an attempt to change the default wallclock
preference from EFI_GET_TIME to CMOS RTC, but has grown quite a lot.
First 3 patches should be non-functional changes, mostly chopping the
current logic into smaller functions so that in patch 4 the probing vs
runtime wallclock logic can be split. Patch 5 adds a new command line
option to force the usage of a specific wallclock.
Finally patch 6 changes the preference to use CMOS RTC even when booted
from EFI firmware.
Thanks, Roger.
