idk... For every 100uSec slice, dividing by 1024 will introduce a
~2.4uSec error. I didn't dig enough the question to figure out if the
error was smaller than the used clock accuracy.

but even if the error is small, why letting it slip in when 100%
accurate value is possible?

Beside, making the painfully picky do_div() macro for some platforms
happy, I fail to understand the problem with doing a division to get an
accurate value.

let me reverse the question. Even if the bit shifting is a bit faster
than doing the division, would the code be called often enough to make
a significant difference?
