You divide ts by 10^9, which makes it seconds if it was nanoseconds.

But reminder is still in nanoseconds and you divide it by 10^3.

If I didn't miss anything it should be called like

rem_ns -> reminder_ms

Perhaps dev_err() ?

Is it worth to define it? If so, can we use device properties for that?
