[PATCH v3 2/2] iio: frequency: ad9832: simplify bitwise math

[Joshua Crofts]

Refactor the ad9832_calc_freqreg by adding a BIT_ULL()
macro instead of manual bit shifting for better
readability.

FYI, adding Nuno's reviewed-by tag from v2 as v3 is just a typo fix.

While at it, you can move asm/* to go after generic linux/* ones as asm is more
custom than linux.

What about this one? Is it used?

Many drivers just need dev_printk.h + device/devres.h. Some indeed require
device.h. Please, double check.

"While at it, switch to u64 type for the local variable
 that may hold big values."

It can even be just like this:

	u64 freqreg = fout * BIT_ULL(AD9832_FREQ_BITS);

if I understand the integer promotion for unsigned types here
and the * operator correctly.

Sure, at least I'll ensure that the reviewed-by tag is incorporated
correctly.

It's up to you. (u64) casting here is not bad per se. And it's more robust
against changes in the second operand the type of which is hidden currently.

I compiled it with the include combination above and it passed, but looking into
the generated .i file I can see a full struct device definition, so I
assume there's
some sort of transitive include behavior (spi.h or something)

If I'm not mistaken, the compiler would always do a type promotion of the
"smaller" operand (in this case fout). By casting at this point we're just doing
the work for it, so I guess it doesn't matter.

Please, avoid following the suggestions blindly. This work needs a careful
check of what's exactly is being used and which header should provide the
necessary information. While it may compile it might be still wrong. You
need to (briefly) read the code in full. I don't use iwyu tool with tweaks
by Jonathan Cameron, old school guy, but you can also try it [1].

Yes, and the problem here that BIT_ULL() is (semi)hidden on what it returns for
smaller values. Explicit casting helps with that (while not needed). The problem
that might appear in the future if on some circumstances the both operands become
of 32-bit types... You won't get 64-bit value out of that without casting.

There is no way we'd implement a BIT_ULL() that doesn't give you a ULL.

Don't worry, I wasn't blindly following your suggestions. After some tweaking,
IWYU recommends keeping device.h and removing slab.h. My question is
whether the swap from asm/div64.h to linux/math64.h is valid? The asm
implementation would be platform specific, so swapping to math64 seems
like a good idea.

I meant that it's not crystal clear, one needs to know the naming convention of
BIT_ULL() and/or check the implementation. Reading (u64) is much clearer in
that sense. Also in case of BIT_ULL() parameter being < 32 it may be replaced
with BIT().

Up to you, but that would need to be a separate patch, because it does
the opposite to what your patch is doing. And justification is most likely
that it's preferred to use linux/ generic over asm/ in the drivers. Or
something in those lines...
