Subject: [PATCH] hpet: allow non-power-of-two frequencies
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=189e2dd1376c1eb2f3a717a15f1ed8c7d0b3811a;p=linux-beck.git

[PATCH] hpet: allow non-power-of-two frequencies

It was only the RTC hardware that restricted interrupt frequencies to a power
of two.  There is no reason to take over this restriction into the HPET
driver, so remove the offending check.
