13 Setting this makes the Legacy 8254 Timer available by disabling
14 clock gating. This needs to be enabled in order to boot a legacy
15 BIOS or OS not supporting other timers like PM timer or TSC.
17 While SeaBIOS does not require this timer anymore, it is needed
18 when OpRoms are being used.
20 Disable this setting to save power, when the timer is not needed.
