When it was submitted, I suggested to keep it disabled by default
because of the firmware mess qcom has - the rtc is set to
read-only and if one enables it on cros without allow-set-time;
and validating that qtiseclib doesn't block it too, it would
likely cause issues by taking devices back to 1970s :D
