Using struct timeval will cause time overflow in 2038, replacing it with a 64bit version.
In addition, the origin driver try to covert usec to jiffies manually in hilse_donode(). This is not a universal and safe way, using nsecs_to_jiffies() to fix that.

You should mention somewhere that you are also converting from real time to monotonic time, and why this is done.

No need to rename the two variables here. Also, it seems we never access the tv_nsec portion at all, so this could use the simpler ktime_get_seconds() or even 'jiffies' instead.

This looks unrelated to the change above, so I would suggest making separate patches.

You could work around that by using ktime_get_ns() to get a nanosecond value right away, but a 64-bit number is more expensive to convert to jiffies.
You are right, I didn't notice that tv_nsec is a 32bit variable. Maybe we should use ktime_t here, so that handling sec and nsec separately is needless.
Using jiffies here will need to take more codes to handle jiffies overflow carefully. I think coverting 64bit number to jiffies is the price we must take, if we use 64bit version here.

if (ts64.tv_nsec < NSECS_PER_USEC)Your current version looks like it will practically never be true (meaning you hit the exact nanosecond). Is this conditional actually needed at all then? If it is, what is the intention and what should it be?
Yes, compare to NSEC_PER_USEC is more safe, since we use nanosecond here.
mod_timer(&hil_mlcs_kicker,jiffies + nsecs_to_jiffies(ts64.tv_nsec));This part seems like it would be easier to just use jiffies instead of timspec64, to avoid having to convert it back.
