It's 307ns (ie. 3.25MHz clock).

Tell me if the 307ns requires something I should adjust.

My understanding is that the flow will be :
 sched_clock()
   rd->read_sched_clock() (cyc_to_ns() transformed for return)
     pxa_read_sched_clock()
       readl_relaxed(OSCR)

I didn't see any timings issue, as the flow looks equivalent to the readl(OSCR),
but I might have overlooked something.

Cheers.
