might be worth collecting these fields into a clocksource_params structure:

struct clocksource_params {
	u32		freq;
	unsigned long	min_delta;
	unsigned long	max_delta;
};

That way the initialization API looks even more streamlined:

extern void
clockevents_config_and_register(struct clock_event_device *dev,
				struct clocksource_params params);

and could be extended in the future, without having to update every single 
clocksource driver again.

But a good first step in any case:

Thanks,
