Some time back I also fixed the TWD scaling problem based on more
or less similar idea of pre-scaler and CPUFREQ notifiers.
Rob's clock idea was neat and useful to re-calibration

While doing this patch for OMAP I also found that
CPUFREQ notifiers does delays scaling timer frequency
and there is a tick deviation(3-4 ms) around 1st tick and
last tick around twd rescaling.

Another issue was not able to select higher fixed twd rate
and found fix for the same.

Regards,
Santosh
