FWIW I've never seen any problems prior to Paul's rework of bad clock detection in 5.13. Backports to 5.4 and 5.10 are not necessary.
Given that the hardware is still just as broken in those older kernels, why not?
Just filling in with extra context, I did say "FWIW" ;)
I don't use 5.4 nor do I understand the consequences of bad hpet well enough to comment on risk vs reward here. By consequences of bad hpet I mean whether its going to impact anything beyond the tsc -> hpet fallback (which doesn't impact <5.13).
