[PATCH RESEND 5/5] MIPS: Loongson64: Mark RS780 HPET as broken

From: Jiaxun Yang
Date: Mon Apr 20 2020 - 03:35:15 EST


This driver is using some dangerous hack to set MMIO address for HPET,
which might break systems with other kinds of PCH.

Also, as Loongson-3 cpufreq driver never appeared in mainline,
this driver rarely got used.

So we temporarily mark it as broken until we find a better solution.

This option enables the hpet timer of AMD RS780/SBX00.

- If you want to enable the Loongson3 CPUFreq Driver, Please enable
- this option at first, otherwise, You will get wrong system time.

- If unsure, say Yes.

+ Note: This driver is doing some dangerous hack. Please only enable
+ it on RS780E systems.
