It's not as clear as it could be .. In the case above you have to look
in at least two places to know what's going on.. First to see the
cs->read() , and second to see if "cs" is actually a clocksource or
something else.. "cs" could be declared anyplace with any name.

If you see clocksource_read(cs) , you might need to once check what
clocksource_read() is actually doing, but only once.. After that when
you see that function you know that variable is a clocksource, and it's
"read()" is getting called. So you only need to review one line in the
simplest case.
