[PATCH v1 1/1] i2c: mpc: Fix timeout calculations
From: Andy Shevchenko
Date: Thu Jun 18 2026 - 10:51:29 EST
ON the first glance the harmless cleanup of the driver does nothing bad.
However, as the operator precedence list states the '*' (multiplication)
and '/' division operators have order 5 with left-to-right associativity
the *= has order 17 and associativity right-to-left. It wouldn't not be
a problem to replace
foo = foo * HZ / 1000000;
with
foo *= HZ / 1000000;
if HZ constant is in Hertz. The problem is that in the Linux kernel HZ is
defined in jiffy units, which is order of magnitude smaller than a million.
That's why operator precedence has a crucial role here. Fix the regression
by reverting pre-optimized calculations.
