The author of this patch from the RFC series is:
Ravi Gunasekaran <r-gunasekaran@ti.com>
The authorship should be preserved across versions unless the
implementation has changed drastically requiring major rework
(which doesn't seem to be the case for this patch based on the
Changelog).

Is the commented portion above required?

The macro name could be updated to contain "USEC" to make it clear that
the units are in microseconds. Same comment applies to other macros
below where they can be named to contain the units.

Why does the debug message above have to be deleted? If it was not
required, it could have been omitted in the previous patch itself,
rather than adding it in the previous patch and removing it here.

Is the "__packed" attribute no longer required, or was it overlooked?

Same comment here as well.

There seem to be a lot of changes compared to the RFC patch which
haven't been mentioned in the Changelog. Please mention all the changes
when posting new versions.

Siddharth.
