+Subject: x86: HPET force enable for e6xx based systems
+Origin: https://git.kernel.org/linus/2e151c70dfb0075ff83bec305c52a9da1ba49089
+
+As the Soekris net6501 and other e6xx based systems do not have
+any ACPI implementation, HPET won't get enabled.
+This patch enables HPET on such platforms.
+
+[    0.430149] pci 0000:00:01.0: Force enabled HPET at 0xfed00000
+[    0.644838] HPET: 3 timers in total, 0 timers will be used for per-cpu timer
+
+Original patch by Peter Neubauer (http://www.mail-archive.com/soekris-tech@lists.soekris.com/msg06462.html)
+slightly modified by Conrad Kostecki <ck@conrad-kostecki.de> and massaged
+accoring to Thomas Gleixners <tglx@linutronix.de> by me.
