Subject: [RFC PATCH v5 02/16] x86/hpet: Add helper function hpet_set_comparator_periodic()
Programming an HPET channel as periodic requires setting the
HPET_TN_SETVAL bit in the channel configuration. Plus, the comparator
register must be written twice (once for the comparator value and once for
the periodic value). Since this programming might be needed in several
places (e.g., the HPET clocksource and the HPET-based hardlockup detector),
add a helper function for this purpose.
A helper function hpet_set_comparator_oneshot() could also be implemented.
However, such function would only program the comparator register and the
function would be quite small. Hence, it is better to not bloat the code
with such an obvious function.

---
When programming the HPET channel in periodic mode, a udelay(1) between
the two successive writes to HPET_Tn_CMP was introduced in commit
e9e2cdb41241 ("[PATCH] clockevents: i386 drivers"). The commit message
does not give any reason for such delay. The hardware specification does
not seem to require it. The refactoring in this patch simply carries such
delay.
---
Changes since v4:
* Implement function only for periodic mode. This removed extra logic to
to use a non-zero period value as a proxy for periodic mode
programming. (Thomas)
* Added a comment on the history of the udelay() when programming the
channel in periodic mode. (Ashok)
Changes since v3:
* Added back a missing hpet_writel() for time configuration.
Changes since v2:
* Introduced this patch.
Changes since v1:
* N/A

+ *
+ * Helper function for updating comparator, accumulator and period values.
