[PATCH v3 2/2] wifi: iwlwifi: mld: Fix GP2 to nanoseconds overflow on 32-bit

From: Zhan Xusheng

Same problem as the mvm driver, in three places. A GP2 timestamp is a
u32 in microseconds and NSEC_PER_USEC is 1000L, so on 32-bit

u64 scale_time_gp2_ns = mld->ptp_data.scale_update_gp2 * NSEC_PER_USEC;
iwl_mld_ptp_get_adj_time(mld, gp2 * NSEC_PER_USEC);
iwl_mld_ptp_get_adj_time(mld, phy_data->gp2_on_air_rise * NSEC_PER_USEC);

are evaluated in 32 bits and truncate for any GP2 value above 4.295 s.

The last one matters most. iwl_mld_ptp_get_adj_time() passes its
argument back to iwl_mld_ptp_update_new_read() in microseconds, which
treats a backwards step of at least IWL_PTP_WRAP_THRESHOLD_USEC as a GP2
wraparound and bumps wrap_counter. A gp2 of 10 s truncates to a 32-bit
product of 1410065408 ns, i.e. 1410065 us, an 8589935 us step back, so
the 5000 us threshold is passed and a wraparound is recorded. Each
spurious wraparound adds IWL_PTP_GP2_WRAP microseconds, about 71.6
minutes, to every later timestamp, and the error accumulates.

iwl_mld_ptp_gettime() and iwl_mld_phc_get_crosstimestamp() in ptp.c
already cast to u64 before multiplying. Do the same in the three
remaining places.
