How about a fix like this? I should have taken your advice 9 years ago
to avoid duplicated code :)

Subject: [PATCH] x86/apic: Fix duplicated lapic timer calculation

Local APIC timer clockevent parameters can be calculated based on
platform specific methods. However the code is mostly duplicated
with the interrupt based calibration. This causes further updates
prone to mistakes.

Fixes: 4aed89d ("x86, lapic-timer: Increase the max_delta to 31 bits")
