Subject: [PATCH] Fix HPET operation on 64-bit NVIDIA platforms
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a2ef3a50f19f64d350bdc0aa15c31ae4b8973f57;p=GitHub%2Fexynos8895%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal8895.git

[PATCH] Fix HPET operation on 64-bit NVIDIA platforms

From: "Andy Currid" <ACurrid@nvidia.com>

This patch fixes a kernel panic during boot that occurs on NVIDIA platforms
that have HPET enabled.

When HPET is enabled, the standard timer IRQ is routed to IOAPIC pin 2 and is
advertised as such in the ACPI APIC table - but an earlier workaround in the
kernel was ignoring this override.  The fix is to honor timer IRQ overrides
from ACPI when HPET is detected on an NVIDIA platform.
