From d85bf54b7f462eb0297351b5f8dfde09adf617fb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Laszlo Ersek Date: Fri, 20 Oct 2023 14:17:48 +0200 Subject: ArmPlatformPkg/PL031RealTimeClockLib: remove needless instance init steps RealTimeClockLib instances are consumed by edk2's EmbeddedPkg/RealTimeClockRuntimeDxe driver. In its entry point function InitializeRealTimeClock(), the driver: (1) calls LibRtcInitialize(), (2) sets the GetTime(), SetTime(), GetWakeupTime() and SetWakeupTime() runtime services to its own similarly-named functions -- where those functions wrap the corresponding RealTimeClockLib APIs, (3) installs EFI_REAL_TIME_CLOCK_ARCH_PROTOCOL with a NULL protocol interface. Steps (2) and (3) conform to PI v1.8 sections II-9.7.2.4 through II-9.7.2.7. However, this means that LibRtcInitialize() (of any RealTimeClockLib instance) should not itself (a) set the GetTime(), SetTime(), GetWakeupTime() and SetWakeupTime() runtime services, nor (b) install EFI_REAL_TIME_CLOCK_ARCH_PROTOCOL. The runtime service pointers will be overwritten in step (2) anyway, and step (3) will uselessly install a second (NULL-interface) EFI_REAL_TIME_CLOCK_ARCH_PROTOCOL instance in the protocol database. (The protocol only serves to notify the DXE Foundation about said runtime services being available.) Clean up ArmPlatformPkg/PL031RealTimeClockLib accordingly (it only has code that's redundant for step (3); it does not try to set "gRT" fields). (Note that the lib instance INF file already does not list gEfiRealTimeClockArchProtocolGuid.) Tested with ArmVirtQemu.
