ACPI/hpet: prevent boot hang when hpet=force used on ICH-4M
Linux tells ICH4 users that they can (manually) invoke "hpet=force" to enable the undocumented ICH-4M HPET. The HPET becomes available for both clocksource and clockevents. But as of ff69f2bb (acpi: fix of pmtimer overflow that make Cx states time incorrect) the HPET may be used via clocksource for idle accounting, and hpet=force on an ICH4 box hangs boot. It turns out that touching the MMIO HPET withing the ARB_DIS part of C3 will hang the hardware. The fix is to simply move the timer access outside the ARB_DIS region. This is a no-op on modern hardware because ARB_DIS is no longer used. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13087Acked-by: NVenkatesh Pallipadi <venkatesh.pallipadi@intel.com> Signed-off-by: NLen Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
