I found that I can use div64_64 through #include <linux/math64.h> and use "div64_u64":

u64 div_h, div_l, divisor;
u32 index = pwm->hwpwm;

rate = clk_get_rate(priv->clk);
/* Get the smallest value for div_h */
div_h = rate * state->period;
divisor = (u64)NSEC_PER_SEC * (PWM_ASPEED_FIXED_PERIOD + 1) *
(FIELD_MAX(PWM_ASPEED_CTRL_CLK_DIV_L) + 1);
div_h = div64_u64(div_h, divisor);
div_h = order_base_2(div_h);
if (div_h > 0xf)
div_h = 0xf;

div_l = rate * state->period;
divisor = (u64)NSEC_PER_SEC * (PWM_ASPEED_FIXED_PERIOD + 1) *
BIT(div_h);
div_l = div64_u64(div_l, divisor);

Can I use this one?

Thanks
