When the macro's "return value" is not used, the macro use can be
replaced by a simply division, avoiding some obfuscation.
According to my observations, no change to generated code.

Arguably the ULL suffix (in write_watchdog_counter()) or the cast to
uint64_t (in div_sc()) aren't really needed in code which gets built for
64-bit only.

I don't think this hunk is safe to convert. ~Andrew

And I continue to think that I did express correctly the effect do_div() did have on "freq". Jan

I think I did address both points (the earlier one was actually more a remark imo anyway, not a request to change anything right in this patch), so may I please ask for an ack (or a response clarifying what I'm not understanding in what you have said)?
