This doesn't pass the smell test.  If the max counter value is M, you
are figuring M*1/F which is the time in seconds corresponding to M.
We set M=2^32-1, and so 'freq' would have to be greater than 4 GHz in
order for 'maxsec' to be zero.  Do you really expect such high
frequency input clocks?

What is this all about?  cc.mask is always 2^32 - 1.

In order to get good resolution on the frequency adjustment, we want
to keep 'mult' as large as possible.  I don't see your code doing
this.  We can rely on the watchdog reader (work queue) to prevent
overflows.

Thanks,
