Also the sentence after the colon starts with an uppercase letter.

Please change 'sched_clock_register function' to
'sched_clock_register()' which makes it clear that this is a function

Again sentences start with an uppercase letter. Also the reason for
exporting this is wrong. There is no mediatek timer module now.

The point of exporting this (if at all) is that it's required for any
ARM SoC timer driver to be modularized.
