Using struct timeval will cause time overflow in 2038, replacing it with
ktime_t. And we don't need to handle sec and nsec separately.

Since mlc->lcv_t is only interested in seconds, directly using
time64_t here.

And monotonic time is better here, since the original driver don't care
the wall time.

In addition, the original driver try to covert usec to jiffies manually in
hilse_donode(). This is not a universal and safe way, using
nsecs_to_jiffies() to fix that.

The changelog text looks good.

This part looks good now, but as I commented in version 1, it should
really be a separate patch rather than combined with the rest that
is dealing with another use of timeval.

If I read this right, the code is executed one for each input event such
as a keypress or mouse movement. In the latter case, doing nsecs_to_jiffies()
here is actually a bit expensive, and I stil think it can be avoided
by just using jiffies.

For the (tmp.tv64 < NSEC_PER_USEC) part, did you just do that because
I said this, or did you actually prove that it is required? I'm still
confused about what the driver is trying to achieve here.

Maybe give the variable a more useful name than 'tmp'?

You could also remove the variable entirely if you slightly restructure
the condition below.

As I mentioned, better use ktime_to_ns() instead of accessing the tv64 member
directly, but that is just a small style question.

Ok, I will split it in next version.

More explanation here:)
the judgement here is to prevent mod_timer with zero delta. I can not make sure whether the module
have nanosecond precise, so just keep same.

I see, thanks for point out.

Ok, I guess I was misreading the original code. What it actually does
is to check the remaining time in jiffies, not in microseconds, so the
algorithm is:

	if (already expired)
		schedule tasklet
	else {
		convert to jiffies
		if (expired just now)
			schedule tasklet
		else
			schedule tasklet from timer
	}

So the entire code is meant to guarantee that the tasklet is getting
scheduled, and the first two cases are just an optimization to avoid
going through the timer. I checked the code for mod_timer to verify
that mod_timer with an argument in the past will just cause the
handler to be called at the next tick, so we don't really need the
middle case, and the logic becomes really simple if you use jiffies
instead of ktime_t.
