'struct timeval last_tv' is used to get the time of last signal change and 'struct timeval last_intr_tv' is used to get the time of last UART interrupt. 32-bit systems using 'struct timeval' will break in the year 2038, so we have to replace that code with more appropriate types. Here struct timeval is replaced with ktime_t.

So here and for the other values, the _tv postfix means timeval. So since you're changing the type, it probably would be cleaner to change the name to something that makes more sense. ie: last_signal_time, last_interrupt_time, curr_time.

Can this whole function be killed and replaced w/ a ktime_to_us(ktime_sub(t1, t2))?
The if (>15 sec) return -1 bit is curious, since it doesn't seem clearly documented I don't see much error checking in the file for this case. I'm guessing its just trying to force the 32bit ceiling instead of overflowing, but that would be easy enough to preserve w/ something like
static inline long delta(ktime_t t1, ktime_t t2) { /* return the delta in 32bit usecs, but cap to UINTMAX in case the delta is greater then 32bits */ return (long) min(ktime_to_us(ktime_sub(t1, t2)), UINT_MAX); }
