Because when we run "make ARCH=arm64 menuconfig", RTC_LIB is always selected. And we have no opportunity
to deselect it. And EFI_RTC can be displayed only when RTC_LIB=n.
--------drivers/rtc/Kconfig-------
config RTC_LIB
bool
menuconfig RTC_CLASS
bool "Real Time Clock"
default n
depends on !S390 && !UML
select RTC_LIB
--------------drivers/char/Kconfig--------------
if RTC_LIB=n
......
config EFI_RTC
bool "EFI Real Time Clock Services"
depends on IA64 || ARM64
.......
endif # RTC_LIB
