ACPI: Add Time and Alarm Device (TAD) driver
Introduce a driver for the ACPI Time and Alarm Device (TAD) based on Section 9.18 of ACPI 6.2. This driver only supports the system wakeup capabilities of the TAD which are mandatory. Support for the RTC capabilities of the TAD will be added to it in the future. This driver is entirely sysfs-based. It provides attributes (under the TAD platform device) to allow user space to manage the AC and DC wakeup timers of the TAD: set and read their values, set and check their expire timer wake policies, check and clear their status and check the capabilities of the TAD reported by AML. The DC timer attributes are only present if the TAD supports a separate DC alarm timer. The wakeup events handling and power management of the TAD is expected to be taken care of by the ACPI PM domain attached to its platform device. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

+Description:
+ (RO) Hexadecimal bitmask of the TAD attributes are reported by
+ the platform firmware (see ACPI 6.2, section 9.18.2):
+
+ BIT(0): AC wakeup implemented if set
+ BIT(1): DC wakeup implemented if set
+ BIT(2): Get/set real time features implemented if set
+ BIT(3): Real time accuracy in milliseconds if set
+ BIT(4): Correct status reported for wakeups from S4/S5 if set
+ BIT(5): The AC timer wakes up from S4 if set
+ BIT(6): The AC timer wakes up from S5 if set
+ BIT(7): The DC timer wakes up from S4 if set
+ BIT(8): The DC timer wakes up from S5 if set
+
+ The other bits are reserved.

+Description:
+ (RW) The AC alarm timer value.
+
+ Reads return the current AC alarm timer value in seconds or
+ "disabled", if the AC alarm is not set to wake up the system.
+
+ Write a new AC alarm timer value in seconds or "disabled" to it
+ to set the AC alarm timer or to disable it, respectively.
+
+ If the AC alarm timer is set through this attribute and it
+ expires, it will immediately wake up the system from the S3
+ sleep state (and from S4/S5 too if supported) until its status
+ is explicitly cleared via the ac_status attribute.

+Description:
+ (RW) The AC alarm expired timer wake policy (see ACPI 6.2,
+ Section 9.18 for details).
+
+ Reads return the current expired timer wake delay for the AC
+ alarm timer or "never", if the policy is to discard AC timer
+ wakeups if the system is on DC power.
+
+ Write a new expired timer wake delay for the AC alarm timer in
+ seconds or "never" to it to set the expired timer wake delay for
+ the AC alarm timer or to set its expired wake policy to discard
+ wakeups if the system is on DC power, respectively.

+Description:
+ (RW) The AC alarm status.
+
+ Reads return a hexadecimal bitmask representing the AC alarm
+ timer status with the following meaning of bits (see ACPI 6.2,
+ Section 9.18.5):
+
+ Bit(0): The timer has expired if set.
+ Bit(1): The timer has woken up the system from a sleep state
+ (S3 or S4/S5 if supported) if set.
+
+ The other bits are reserved.
+
+ Reads also cause the AC alarm timer status to be reset.
+
+ Another way to reset the the status of the AC alarm timer is to
+ write (the number) 0 to this file.
+
+ If the status return value indicates that the timer has expired,
+ it will immediately wake up the system from the S3 sleep state
+ (and from S4/S5 too if supported) until its status is explicitly
+ cleared through this attribute.
