[PATCH 0/3] hpet: convert from ACPI to PNP driver
The hpet driver parses ACPI _CRS data manually, but PNPACPI already does that, and it does a more complete job, so we can simplify the hpet driver quite a bit by taking advantage of that. --- Bjorn Helgaas (3): hpet: convert to PNP driver hpet: pass physical address, not entire hpet_data, to hpet_... 17 Mar 2010 14:46
