Apparently, this comment does not match your code:

#define TMOD_MASK GENMASK(9, 0)


TMOD_MASK is indicating bit[9:0].



Digging into the patch history, now I understood what happened.



In v1, you described
#define TMOD_MASK 0x1ff

This was correct.


In v2, you converted it into
#define TMOD_MASK GENMASK(9, 0)

This was misconversion. It should be GENMASK(8, 0)



Anyway, TMOD_MASK is not used any more.

Why magic number here?

/* MSB of the TMOD field is a sign bit */
*out_temp = sign_extend32(temp, TMOD_WIDTH) * 1000;
