+ * clocks_calc_mult_shift - calculate mult/shift factors for scaled math of clocks

+ * @shift: pointer to shift variable
+ * @from: frequency to convert from
+ * @to: frequency to convert to
+ * @maxsec: guaranteed runtime conversion range in seconds
+ *
+ * The function evaluates the shift/mult pair for the scaled math
+ * operations of clocksources and clockevents.
+ *
+ * @to and @from are frequency values in HZ. For clock sources @to is
+ * NSEC_PER_SEC == 1GHz and @from is the counter frequency. For clock
+ * event @to is the counter frequency and @from is NSEC_PER_SEC.
+ *
+ * The @maxsec conversion range argument controls the time frame in
+ * seconds which must be covered by the runtime conversion with the
+ * calculated mult and shift factors. This guarantees that no 64bit
+ * overflow happens when the input value of the conversion is
+ * multiplied with the calculated mult factor. Larger ranges may
+ * reduce the conversion accuracy by chosing smaller mult and shift
+ * factors.
