I tried to go to the history a bit but really couldn't make out what was
the real intention initially:

Following patches did this change:

-               stat->time_in_state[stat->last_index] +=
-                       delta_time(stat->last_time, jiffies);
-       stat->last_time = jiffies;
+               stat->time_in_state[stat->last_index] =
+                       cputime64_add(stat->time_in_state[stat->last_index],
+                                     cputime_sub(cur_time, stat->last_time));

    [PATCH] cpufreq-stats driver updates


And it was then simplified by:

commit 648616343cdbe904c585a6c12e323d3b3c72e46f
Author: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@xxxxxxxxxx>

    [S390] cputime: add sparse checking and cleanup

-               stat->time_in_state[stat->last_index] =
-                       cputime64_add(stat->time_in_state[stat->last_index],
-                                     cputime_sub(cur_time, stat->last_time));
+               stat->time_in_state[stat->last_index] +=
+                       cur_time - stat->last_time;


And obviously cur_time is in jiffies... I am okay with your patch
if Rafael doesn't see any issues with it...
