Correct. See arch/x86/kernel/hpet.c, which has a large number of HPET
quirks keyed off chipset PCI IDs:

DECLARE_PCI_FIXUP_HEADER(PCI_VENDOR_ID_INTEL, PCI_DEVICE_ID_INTEL_ESB2_0,
ich_force_enable_hpet);
DECLARE_PCI_FIXUP_HEADER(PCI_VENDOR_ID_INTEL, PCI_DEVICE_ID_INTEL_ICH6_0,
ich_force_enable_hpet);
DECLARE_PCI_FIXUP_HEADER(PCI_VENDOR_ID_INTEL, PCI_DEVICE_ID_INTEL_ICH6_1,
ich_force_enable_hpet);
[...]

Thanks,

Ingo
