I think the problem is rather that the RTC itself is misconfigured and off
by 8 hours:

    gcc401$ date -u
    Fri Jan  7 11:38:56 AM UTC 2022

    local$ date -u
    Fri Jan  7 19:40:38 UTC 2022

Systemd seems to complain as well:

    $ dmesg | grep RTC
    [    6.959230] systemd[1]: RTC configured in localtime, applying delta of 480 minutes to system time.
