RealTimeClockLib instances are consumed by edk2's
EmbeddedPkg/RealTimeClockRuntimeDxe driver. In its entry point function
InitializeRealTimeClock(), the driver:
(1) calls LibRtcInitialize(),
(2) sets the GetTime(), SetTime(), GetWakeupTime() and SetWakeupTime()
runtime services to its own similarly-named functions -- where those
functions wrap the corresponding RealTimeClockLib APIs,
(3) installs EFI_REAL_TIME_CLOCK_ARCH_PROTOCOL with a NULL protocol
interface.
Steps (2) and (3) conform to PI v1.8 sections II-9.7.2.4 through
II-9.7.2.7.
However, this means that LibRtcInitialize() (of any RealTimeClockLib
instance) should not itself (a) set the GetTime(), SetTime(),
GetWakeupTime() and SetWakeupTime() runtime services, nor (b) install
EFI_REAL_TIME_CLOCK_ARCH_PROTOCOL. The runtime service pointers will be
overwritten in step (2) anyway, and step (3) will uselessly install a
second (NULL-interface) EFI_REAL_TIME_CLOCK_ARCH_PROTOCOL instance in the
protocol database. (The protocol only serves to notify the DXE Foundation
about said runtime services being available.)
Clean up ArmPlatformPkg/PL031RealTimeClockLib accordingly (it only has
code that's redundant for step (3); it does not try to set "gRT" fields).
(Note that the lib instance INF file already does not list
gEfiRealTimeClockArchProtocolGuid.)
Tested with ArmVirtQemu.
