Looks good in principle. Two small points:

It's unclear why the driver was using getrawmonotonic() here rather
than ktime_get_ts(). The code is fairly new, so Vincent can
probably explain this.

If it was intentional, we should use ktime_get_raw() instead of
ktime_get().

This could be expressed in a more compact way using ktime_ms_delta().
