Re: [PATCH v2] hpet: Enable hidden HPET on NVidia motherboards

Currently the all the code is protected by CONFIG_HPET.
Are you proposing to use for example CONFIG_HPET_NVIDIA instead?

Something like that. CONFIG_HPET_NFORCE_DETECT maybe?

I think that the code should be safe even without it's own config option.

Well, who knows. The hardware side (config bits) are probably safe
and easy to verify, but depending on BIOS assigning address to inactive
device seems risky.
