We need HZ_PER_GHZ. I think it's easy to have one be present in units.h.

How does "U" help here?

Not sure if we want (BIT(x) - 1) for the limits as we have non-0 minimums.

Sounds like a candidate for (BIT(12) - 1).

Basically I'm replying to this just for this line. 180° is PI radians, which is
something like 31415926... Can we use here (2 * 314...) where PI is provided in
one of the used form? This will help to grep and replace in case we will have a
common PI constant defined in the kernel (units.h).
