Maybe we can avoid the words - "Right now"?

(It has been pointed out before that this type of wording is a bit too
vague. But, it's up to you.)

An additional question, should I add the RUST HPET entry in MAINTAINERS file
under "PC Chipset" or add the new section like "ARM PL011 Rust device"?

I feel as if the former makes more sense?
