Come on. It's not that hard :)

int clocksource_register_freq(struct clocksource *cs, u32 scale, u32 freq)
{
	clocks_calc_mult_shift(&cs->mult, &cs->shift, freq,
			       NSEC_PER_SEC / scale, MAX_UPDATE_LENGTH * scale);

	....
}

static inline int clocksource_register_hz(struct clocksource *cs, u32 freq)
{
	clocksource_regiser_freq(cs, 1, freq);
}

static inline int clocksource_register_khz(struct clocksource *cs, u32 freq)
{
	clocksource_regiser_freq(cs, 1000, freq);
}
 
Thanks,
