drivers/gpu/drm/bridge/fsl-ldb.c:101: possible loss of information.

Hello there,
I just ran the static analyser "cppcheck" over the source code of linux-6.2-rc1. It said:
linux-6.3-rc1/drivers/gpu/drm/bridge/fsl-ldb.c:101:3: style: int result is returned as long value. If the return value is long to avoid loss of information, then you have loss of information. [truncLongCastReturn]
Source code is
static unsigned long fsl_ldb_link_frequency(struct fsl_ldb *fsl_ldb, int clock)
{
if (fsl_ldb->lvds_dual_link)
return clock * 3500;
else
return clock * 7000;
}
Depending on the range of the value of clock, maybe unsigned long literals, like 3500UL, should
have been used ?
Regards
