Re: [PATCH 2/2] hyperv: Implement Time Synchronization using host time sample

I had a couple small style nits.

If you wanted you could say:

#define  TIMESAMPLE_INTERVAL  (5 * NSEC_PER_SEC)

The comment still has problems throughout.  Read
Documentation/CodingStyle.

Prefer mundane types instead there is a reason.  This should be int
because it's not specified in a hardware spec.  I know you are being
consistent with the surrounding code, but the surrounding code is bad so
don't emulate it.

Maybe say: "Synchronize time with the host"?

I'm surprise checkpatch.pl does't complain about this CamelCase.
