Subject[PATCH 4.4 077/134] pwm: tegra: Increase precision in PWM rate calculation
Date
4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Laxman Dewangan <ldewangan@nvidia.com>


[ Upstream commit 250b76f43f57d578ebff5e7211eb2c73aa5cd6ca ]

The rate of the PWM calculated as follows:

hz = NSEC_PER_SEC / period_ns;
rate = (rate + (hz / 2)) / hz;

This has the precision loss in lower PWM rate.

Change this to have more precision as:

hz = DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST_ULL(NSEC_PER_SEC * 100, period_ns);
rate = DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(rate * 100, hz)

Example:

1. period_ns = 16672000, PWM clock rate is 200 KHz.

Based on old formula
hz = NSEC_PER_SEC / period_ns
= 1000000000ul/16672000
= 59 (59.98)
rate = (200K + 59/2)/59 = 3390

Based on new method:
hz = 5998
rate = DIV_ROUND_CLOSE(200000*100, 5998) = 3334

If we measure the PWM signal rate, we will get more accurate
period with rate value of 3334 instead of 3390.

2. period_ns = 16803898, PWM clock rate is 200 KHz.

Based on old formula:
hz = 59, rate = 3390

Based on new formula:
hz = 5951, rate = 3360

The PWM signal rate of 3360 is more near to requested period
than 3333.
