David Brownell 779d20892f rtc_hctosys expects RTCs in UTC (doc)
The RTC "hctosys" mechanism expects that RTC clock will use UTC, not local
time (e.g.  PST).  Say so in Kconfig and in the kernel message.

(Strictly speaking, the RTC clock should be tracking the POSIX epoch.  That's
not worth going into here.  Goofing timezones means clocks are wrong by many
hours; the POSIX-v-UTC differences just cost seconds.)

/* IMPORTANT: the RTC only stores whole seconds. It is arbitrary
* whether it stores the most close value or the value with partial
* seconds truncated. However, it is important that we use it to store
* the truncated value. This is because otherwise it is necessary,
* in an rtc sync function, to read both xtime.tv_sec and
* xtime.tv_nsec. On some processors (i.e. ARM), an atomic read
* of >32bits is not possible. So storing the most close value would
* slow down the sync API. So here we have the truncated value and
* the best guess is to add 0.5s.
