Subject: [PATCH] drm/bridge: nwl-dsi: Avoid potential multiplication overflow on 32-bit

As nwl_dsi.lanes is u32, and NSEC_PER_SEC is 1000000000L, the second
multiplication in

dsi->lanes * 8 * NSEC_PER_SEC

will overflow on a 32-bit platform. Fix this by making the constant
unsigned long long, forcing 64-bit arithmetic.

While iMX8 is arm64, this driver is currently used on 64-bit platforms
only, where long is 64-bit, so this cannot happen. But the issue may
start to happen when the driver is reused for a 32-bit SoC, or when code
is copied for a new driver.

Hi Geert,

Thank you for the patch.

I wonder if we could get rid of a whole class of bugs by turning
NSEC_PER_SEC into a ULL, but I suppose there are valid cases where a
32-bit integer is enough.

Indeed, and 64-bit arithmetic is more expensive on 32-bit platforms.
I considered that change, but doing so would require updates all over
the place (e.g. printing a value derived from NSEC_PER_SEC, divisions
that need to be changed to do_div or div_u64(), ...)

Note that the selftests already use such a definition.

and of course I grepped for similar use patterns...
