Including the actual dmesg log line here might help others locate this fix.
I have a 8086:3e34 bridge, also known as "Host bridge: Intel Corporation Coffee Lake HOST and DRAM Controller (rev 0c)". Add it to the list.
We should perhaps consider applying this quirk more widely. The Intel documentation does not list my device [1], but linuxhw [2] does, and it seems to list a few more bridges we do not currently cover (3e31, 3ecc, 3e35, 3e0f).
In the fine tradition of:
e0748539e3d5 ("x86/intel: Disable HPET on Intel Ice Lake platforms") f8edbde885bb ("x86/intel: Disable HPET on Intel Coffee Lake H platforms") fc5db58539b4 ("x86/quirks: Disable HPET on Intel Coffe Lake platforms") 62187910b0fc ("x86/intel: Add quirk to disable HPET for the Baytrail plat form")
This seems to be an ongoing issue, not just a point defect in a single product, and I really hate the onesy-twosy nature of this. Is there really no way to detect this issue automatically or fix whatever Linux bug makes us trip over this? I am no clock expert, so I have absolutely no idea whether this is possible.

How did you pick v5.13? force_disable_hpet() was added by 62187910b0fc ("x86/intel: Add quirk to disable HPET for the Baytrail platform"), which appeared in v3.15.
