If don't use EFI time, then the first priority is using ACPI TAD if it
present. Due to ACPI TAD is a generic acpi device that's need OS parsing
DSDT table before set system time.

Either move DSDT parser from subsystem initial stage to start_kernel or
move timekeeping initial to after DSDT be parsed. Which one you think is
more possible and risk less? Then I will try that way.


Thanks a lot!
