From: Liam Beguin <[email protected]>

Reduce the risk of integer overflow by doing the scale calculation with
64bit integers and looking for a Greatest Common Divider for both parts
of the fractional value.

Hmm. I wonder if there are cases where this doesn't work and we end up
truncating because the gcd is say 1. If all of val, val2, rescale->numerator,
rescale->denominator are primes and the rescale values are moderately large
then that might happen. We probably need a fallback position. Perhaps
check tmp / factor and temp2/factor will fit in an int. If not, shift them until
they do even if we have to dump some precision to do so.

This stuff is getting fiddly enough we might want to figure out some self tests
that exercise the various cases.

This is doing 64 bit numbers divided by 32 bit ones. Doesn't that require
use of do_div() etc on 32 bit platforms?

I see what you mean. If we want to do that I guess it would also apply
to other areas of the driver.

I never implemented kernel self tests before, I guess it should follow
the example of drivers/iio/test/iio-test-format.c?

Would you be okay to add this in a follow up series?

Apologies for that mistake, will fix.

Certainly possible. It's a bit obscure so may not have occurred to anyone
on previous reviews :(

Yes, that's fine.
