Can you please provide a proper cover letter for a series (also if it is
a series with only 2 patches)?

Regarding your commit message: secs_to_jiffies() is defined in hci_event
and cannot be reused by other callsites and this is why it's valuable to
move it into core code. Especially because there are ~500 users which do
the multiplier thing and there are also several users which use (secs *
HZ).

What do you think about converting the other users e.g. using
Coccinelle?

Why not only doing

#define secs_to_jiffies(s) (s * HZ)
