This looks really funny to me here and in the other spot. Why not this?

	struct fm10k_intfc *interface = container_of(hw, struct fm10k_intfc, hw);

Its only one over the 80 km/h speed limit.

Hm...

So shift = 0 and multi = 1. Your clock counts nanoseconds. Why not use
it directly? Then you won't need the timecounter stuff or the overflow
watchdog either.

Is this because of the timecounter in the way? Another reason to use
the 64 bit nanosecond counter directly.

You added these three lines in the previous patch.
