Calculating the bit rate in nanoseconds does not fit into a 32-bit 'int'
type, as gcc-16 points out:
drivers/spi/spi-spacemit-k1.c: In function 'k1_spi_set_speed':
drivers/spi/spi-spacemit-k1.c:393:38: error: integer overflow in expression of type 'long int' results in '-589934592' [-Werror=overflow]
393 | nsec_per_word = NSEC_PER_SEC * BITS_PER_BYTE * drv_data->bytes;
Cast the value to a 64-bit constant to force the longer type for the
calculation.

Thanks Arnd. I diagnosed that when I first saw the warning and my
fix was identical to yours. I believe Mark already merged the
fix.

There is probably a way to rework the algorithm to avoid both the 64-bit
multiplication and the following division, but I kept this as a minimal
change.
