+Subject: ACPI: Always build evged in
+
+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.
