Perhaps this is clearer as:

 	for (devp = NULL, hpetp = hpets; hpetp && !devp; hpetp = hpetp->hp_next) {
		for (i = 0; i < hpetp->hp_ntimer; i++) {
			if (!(hpetp->hp_dev[i].hd_flags & HPET_OPEN)) {
				devp = &hpetp->hp_dev[i];
				break;
			}
		}
	}

break; else is almost always better as break
and reduced indentation
