[edk2] GetTime - TimeZone

[Sivasakthivel Nainar]

Below both are different Real Time clock implementations in EDK II source.

ArmPlatformPkg/Library/PL031RealTimeClockLib/PL031RealTimeClockLib.c

PcAtChipsetPkg/PcatRealTimeClockRuntimeDxe/PcRtc.c

One is adjusting the Time with Timezone value programmed and other one ( PC code ) is not adjusting. I think UEFI spec does not ask to adjust the time to timezone.

ArmPlatformPkg/Library/PL031RealTimeClockLib/PL031RealTimeClockLib.c implementation may need to be reviewed.

The Spec, which probably is a little too PC centric, states that TimeZone, and Daylight come from values set via SetTime(). I would posit if the RTC stores the TimeZone and Daylight information, then it makes sense to return that info.

Thanks,
