BMC clock unable to sync time offset from RTC

[Zhang, ShuoX]

Hi,
     I have a question and need your help. The time of bmc has always been UTC time. I set the time zone through the operating system and then reboot  bmc. Although the time is no longer 1970, the time is still UTC time.

     The following steps:
     1. From SUT Linux OS
     # timedatectl set-timezone Asia/Shanghai
     # hwclock -w
     # hwclock -r
     2021-08-12 23:47:04.936372+08:00

     2. Reboot BMC, the BMC will sync the clock with RTC
     3. HTTP GET /redfish/v1/Managers/bmc, check DateTime field, "DateTime" = "2021-08-12 15:47:04.936372+00:00"

     I think it should be when the os time is synced to the bmc, the time zone is not passed, if I want to get the time zone time, do I need to add one under the xyz.openbmc_project.Time.EpochTime interface of the xyz.openbmc_project.Time.Manager service Properties, or are there other ways?
