Completely convinced, will redo.

Or even clockevents_config_and_register()?

The reason why I left this mult/shift initialization as is (it has only
been moved from sh_cmt_clock_event_start() by this patch) is that I was
unsure about why this conversion hadn't been done before. That TODO
comment seems to imply that a shift value as calculated by
clockevents_config() isn't always the perfect choice...

However, do you want me to
a.) simply change this patch to use clockevents_config_and_register(),
b.) add a separate patch to this series doing this cleanup,
c.) send such a patch on its own
d.) or leave this initalization as is?

Thanks,
