It's not really new. The HPET specification is 20 years old :)

So this is another copy of the defines which are already available in
x86 and mips. Seriously?

This wants to be a raw spinlock if at all. But first you have to explain
the purpose of this lock.

> +DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct clock_event_device, hpet_clockevent_device);

Why needs this to be global and why is it needed at all?

This code does support exactly _ONE_ clock event device.

This is also a copy of the x86 HPET code....

What's the purpose of this lock ?

Pretty much the same code as hpet_clkevt_set_state_periodic()

Another slightly different copy of the x86 code

Yet another copy.

Why doe you need an explicit start here?

More copy and paste just to slap a spinlock on to it which has zero
value AFAICT.

Another copy of the x86 code except for omitting the big comment which
explains the logic.

Seriously, this is not how it works. Instead of copy & paste, we create
shared infrastructure and just keep the real architecture specific
pieces separate.

Thanks,
