So that name should really be something like __clocksource_update_freq_scale(),
right?

Also, why is this function exported? No in-tree module uses it.

Also, when I read the code, I noticed:

/**
 * __clocksource_updatefreq_scale - Used update clocksource with new freq
 * @cs:         clocksource to be registered
 * @scale:      Scale factor multiplied against freq to get clocksource hz
 * @freq:       clocksource frequency (cycles per second) divided by scale
 *
 * This should only be called from the clocksource->enable() method.
 *
 * This *SHOULD NOT* be called directly! Please use the
 * clocksource_updatefreq_hz() or clocksource_updatefreq_khz helper functions.

One more reason to not export it?

Also, typo in the description.

Plus, one helper function is marked with '()', the other not ...

Thanks,
