Go directly to the rtc for persistent wall clock time and print.
Useful if REALTIME is required to be logged in a low level power
management function or when clock activities are suspended.  An
aid to permit user space alignment of kernel activities.

Feature activated by CONFIG_RTC_SHOW_TIME.

It's generally better to use a static inline to avoid
misuses in newly added code in the !CONFIG_RTC_SHOW_TIME
compile path when CONFIG_RTC_SHOW_TIME may not be compiled.

static inline void rtc_show_time(const char *prefix_msg)
{
}

What's wrong with procfs device nodes for that?

Ah, it's internal API, ok.

Then would it be possible to use %pt [1] or alike?

Apart from using rtc_time_to_tm (and you should probably use
rtc_time64_to_tm), none of this is actually related to the RTC
subsystem. I feel like you should find another place to put that, maybe
timekeeping_debug.c?

Makes a lot of sense!

Ooops, timekeeping_debug.c is currently only to support a debugfs node. 
Perhaps a _new_ file in that hierarchy like kernel/time/rtc_show_time.c.
