    x86/hpet: Add function to select a /dev/hpet channel · af5a1dad
    Thomas Gleixner authored
    If CONFIG_HPET=y is enabled the x86 specific HPET code should reserve at
    least one channel for the /dev/hpet character device, so that not all
    channels are absorbed for per CPU clockevent devices.
    
    Create a function to assign HPET_MODE_DEVICE so the rework of the
    clockevents allocation code can utilize the mode information instead of
    reducing the number of evaluated channels by #ifdef hackery.
    
    The function is not yet used, but provided as a separate patch for ease of
    review. It will be used when the rework of the clockevent selection takes
    place.
