[PATCH v2] iio: frequency: ad983x: replace do_div() with div64_ul().
Posted by Joshua Crofts 2 months ago
Coccinelle reported the following in both ad983x drivers:
do_div() does a 64-by-32 division, please consider using
div64_ul instead.

Fix this by replacing do_div() with div64_ul(), which
safely handles 64-bit dividends and unsigned long
divisors across all architectures.

Please don't send v2 or later revisions in reply to v1. It breaks
some workflows. Start a new thread instead.

Instead of a v2, you can just add a RESEND prefix to the subject line
in cases like this. But do include an explanation like this when you
do that.

I would expect checkpatch to complain that there is no blank line
between variable declarations and the rest of the code here.

We can just return directly now.

	return div64_ul(freqreg, mclk);

Nevertheless my comments still applicable to v2. The also Documented
recommendation to avoid sending new versions earlier than 24h.
