It may be possible from ACPI point of view (hasn't tried yet). But for
DTS, there is no such firmware.
Why not? Doesn't any boot loader have to initialize the hardware in order
to load a kernel from disk?
I will make the entry more friendly
for DTS. For ACPI, I am thinking that the BIOS/Firmware will just
initialize it. As long as the clock isn't reset, the value will be
there. Let's agree on these:
1. DTS - use more friendly name
2. ACPI - handled by the BIOS/Firmware
Make sense.
