Yaah, the issue which I was seeing and had fix will be resolved with 
this also.
I wanted to do req_diff * period first before any scaling/division.

Function pwm_set_relative_duty_cycle() does the same,  and hence it is fine.

state->duty_cycle = DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST_ULL((u64)val * state->period,
+                          scale);
