Good catch!  The legacy config used Hz, frames, bytes, milliseconds and
microseconds quite randomly to define lengths, this one slipped through
my unification attempts.

I'd use SCALE_US instead of 1000 here.  If you have
NANOSECONDS_PER_SECOND / SCALE_US / e->dev->timer_period, it's
immediately obvious that if you multiply it with SCALE_US, you get back
the old value of s->period_ticks above.
