[PATCH 4/9] rtc: efi: Transition to the faux device interface

[Sudeep Holla]

The EFI RTC driver does not require the creation of a platform device.
Originally, this approach was chosen for simplicity when the driver was
first implemented.

With the introduction of the lightweight faux device interface, we now
have a more appropriate alternative. Migrate the driver to utilize the
faux bus, given that the platform device it previously created was not
a real one anyway. This will simplify the code, reducing its footprint
while maintaining functionality.
