[RFC PATCH 1/3] efi-rtc: Remove wakeup functionality

From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb at kernel.org>

The EFI rtc driver is used by non-x86 architectures only, and exposes
the get/set wakeup time functionality provided by the underlying
platform. This is usually broken on most platforms, and not widely used
to begin with [if at all], so let's just remove it.
