Subject: [PATCH] Remove Intel check in i386 HPET code
Date: Mon, 29 Mar 2004 16:42:37 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <01d601c415a4$7619aaf0$d100000a@sbs2003.local> (raw)
The i386 HPET time setup code would explicitely check for the Intel
vendor ID. That is bogus because other chipset vendors (like AMD)
are implementing HPET too.
Remove this check.
