Bug description:
  With glibc 2.31, hwclock from busybox is unable to set the system time
  due to the changes in settimeofday behavior.

  The problem has been reported upstream in [1] which also contains a
  patch.

  hwclock from busybox is important as it's used on the Raspberry Pi to set the system
  time when an RTC is present.

  This bug applies to focal and groovy.
