x86: hpet: fix periodic mode programming on AMD 81xx
(See http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12961)
It partially reverts commit c23e253e67c9d8a91a0ffa33c1f571a17f0a2403
(x86: hpet: stop HPET_COUNTER when programming periodic mode)
HPET on AMD 81xx chipset needs a second write (with HPET_TN_SETVAL
cleared) to T0_CMP register to set the period in periodic mode.
With this patch HPET_COUNTER is still stopped but not reset when HPET
is programmed in periodic mode. This should help to avoid races when
HPET is programmed in periodic mode and fixes a boot time hang that
I've observed on a machine when using 1000HZ.
[ Impact: fix boot time hang on machines with AMD 81xx chipset ]
