[RFC PATCH 08/23] x86/hpet: Calculate ticks-per-second in a separate function

From: Ricardo Neri
Date: Tue Jun 12 2018 - 21:05:41 EST


It is easier to compute the expiration times of an HPET timer by using
its frequency (i.e., the number of times it ticks in a second) than its
period, as given in the capabilities register.

In addition to the HPET char driver, the HPET-based hardlockup detector
will also need to know the timer's frequency. Thus, create a common
function that both can use.
