Subject: [PATCH] x86/intel: Add comments about why we disabled HPET on Baytrail
Date: Mon, 15 Jun 2015 17:40:01 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1434361201-31743-1-git-send-email-feng.tang@intel.com> (raw)
The question has been asked many times, and finally I found the
official document which explains the problem of HPET on Baytrail
that it will halt in deep idle states.
