Not all tads have the PRW capability, which is totally OK,
according to the ACPI spec [1]:

> _PRW is only required for devices that have the ability to wake

This partially solves [2] and [3].

No, the ACPI TAD definition in Section 9.17 (ACPI 6.5) specifically
requires _PRW to be present unless the system is hardware-reduced.

Anyway, the RTC part can still be supported without _PRW, but then the
wakeup-related attributes should not be present in such cases.

This may be sufficient for the RTC part alone to work, but making the
wakeup-related attributes available doesn't really make sense in the
_PRW absent case, so they all should be made optional.
