This is a very complicated and inprecise way of doing this nowadays.
Skip hardcoding the shift value and calculating mult like that and use

/* Be able to sleep for atleast 4 seconds (usually more) */
#define EVT_MIN_RANGE 4

clockevents_calc_mult_shift(&time_event_device,
                                    clock_rate, EVT_MIN_RANGE);

This is more like it :-)

But you probably also want to add a sched_clock hook for this
platform too, so you get some nice scheduling resolution.

I suggest you look at the simple straight-forward driver
for U300 in arch/arm/mach-u300/timer.c for inspiration.
It's using the same timer that is used for clocksource for
sched_clock().
