[PATCH v3 2/4] pwm: jz4740: Enhance precision in calculation of duty cycle

From: Paul Cercueil
Date: Wed May 27 2020 - 07:52:59 EST


Calculating the hardware value for the duty from the hardware value of
the period resulted in a precision loss versus calculating it from the
clock rate directly.

(Also remove a cast that doesn't really need to be here)

Notes:
v2: New patch. I don't consider this a fix but an enhancement, since the old
behaviour was in place since the driver was born in ~2010, so no Fixes tag.
v3: Add Fixes tag and Uwe's Reviewed-by
