And git grep says that mips abuses this notation:
arch/mips/include/asm/kvm_host.h:#define MS_TO_NS(x) (x * 1E6L)

I do not have cross-compiler set up to check whether this is a real
issue because include/media/rc-core.h defines the same macro correctly
so the real code might end up using the right variant.
