[PATCH v2] pwm_bl: Fix overflow condition

[PATCH v2] pwm_bl: Fix overflow condition

[Derek Basehore]

This fixes an overflow condition that can happen with high max
brightness and period values in compute_duty_cycle. This fixes it by
using a 64 bit variable for computing the duty cycle.

Okay, I think that this is just my email client confusing me. Please
ignore this email and just review the first "PATCH v2" patch.

I believe this is the correct v2 patch, and I agree that Derek is
confused by his mail client :)

I'm still confused by the brightness-levels-scale comment in the other
thread, but this looks like a good fix for a potential overflow so:

I believe Derek was accidentally referring to a change that's only in
our downstream tree.

Right, it's still an applicable overflow without our downstream changes.
