Dumb thinko here, as that should be:

if (ticks) {                                                            
	res = copy_to_iter(&ticks, sizeof(ticks), to);                  
	if (!res)                                                       
		res = -EFAULT;                                          
}            

I've updated my branch, just a heads-up. Odd how it passing testing,
guess I got stack lucky...
