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. Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Samuel Ortiz <sameo@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
