Add Real Time Clock (RTC) support for UFS device. This enhancement is crucial for the internal maintenance operations of the UFS device. The patch enables the device to handle both absolute and relative time information. Furthermore, it includes periodic task to update the RTC in accordance with the UFS Spec, ensuring the accuracy of RTC information for the device's internal processes. RTC and qTimestamp serve distinct purposes. The RTC provides a coarse level of granularity with, at best, approximate single-second resolution. This makes the RTC well-suited for the device to determine the approximate age of programmed blocks after being updated by the host. On the other hand, qTimestamp offers nanosecond granularity and is specifically designed for synchronizing Device Error Log entries with corresponding host-side logs. Given that the RTC has been a standard feature since UFS Spec 2.0, and qTimestamp was introduced in UFS Spec 4.0, the majority of UFS devices currently on the market rely on RTC. Therefore, it is advisable to continue supporting RTC in the Linux kernel. This ensures compatibility with the prevailing UFS device implementations and facilitates seamless integration with existing hardware. By maintaining support for RTC, we ensure broad compatibility and avoid potential issues arising from deviations in device specifications across different UFS versions.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
