might be worth collecting these fields into a clocksource_params structure:

struct clocksource_params {
u32 freq;
unsigned long min_delta;
unsigned long max_delta;
};

That way the initialization API looks even more streamlined:

extern void
clockevents_config_and_register(struct clock_event_device *dev,
struct clocksource_params params);

and could be extended in the future, without having to update every single
clocksource driver again.

But a good first step in any case:
