Ok, I understand, the cv1 is the MSB of the timer, thus it won't change 
so fast

It's fine, keep the 64 bits. If Linux uses the same logic we are fine.

Yes, we must, as bindings is ABI and it should reflect the hardware.

Ok, keep Claudiu in the loop as I would like for him to have the chance 
to review this driver.
