[Bug 1707094] [NEW] Option to set the hardware clock

[Sworddragon]

Public bug reported:

I'm using Ubuntu 17.10 dev with coreutils 8.26-3ubuntu3 and it seems the
command date is only capable of to set the software clock. I think it
would make sense to also add an option that does additionally
immediately update the hardware clock.
