Subject: [PATCH 5.4 05/22] ACPI: Always build evged in

From: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@...ux.intel.com>

commit ac36d37e943635fc072e9d4f47e40a48fbcdb3f0 upstream.

Although the Generic Event Device is a Hardware-reduced
platfom device in principle, it should not be restricted to
ACPI_REDUCED_HARDWARE_ONLY.

Kernels supporting both fixed and hardware-reduced ACPI platforms
should be able to probe the GED when dynamically detecting that a
platform is hardware-reduced. For that, the driver must be
unconditionally built in.
