Char/Misc fix for 5.6-rc1

Browse Source 
Here is a single patch, that fixes up a commit that came in the previous
 char/misc merge.
 
 It fixes a bug in the hpet driver that everyone keeps tripping over in
 their automated testing.  Good thing is, people are catching it.  Bad
 thing it wasn't caught by anyone testing before this.  Oh well...
 
 This has been in linux-next for a few days with no reported issues.
