Clock doesn't keep time across power-down and later power-up

What problem did you encounter

The clock does not keep time current upon power-up.

What is the current behaviour?

Power down at 11:03am; wait 10 minutes; power-up it shows 11:03am (and will until a network connection updates it).

What is the expected behaviour?

Hardware clock is set, and is used to show current time.

How to reproduce

  1. Power down; note actual time.
  2. Wait a few minutes.
  3. Power up; note it was the same time as power-down.

Description: Pure Wayland shell for mobile devices
 Phosh is a simple shell for Wayland compositors speaking the layer-surface
 protocol. It currently supports
 .
  * a lockscreen
  * brightness control and nighlight
  * the gcr system-prompter interface
  * acting as a polkit auth agent
  * enough of org.gnome.Mutter.DisplayConfig to make gnome-settings-daemon happy
  * a homebutton that toggles a simple favorites menu
  * status icons for battery, wwan and wifi
 .
 If you're not working on a Wayland compositor then this package is likely not
 very useful for you.
