This can even be simplified further.

From the probe function we have:

pwm_chip->max_period_ns = NSEC_PER_SEC * 512 * max_timebase / input_clk_hz

Then in img_pwm_config there is:

mul = ⎡ input_clk_hz / ⎡ NSEC_PER_SEC / period_ns⎤⎤

(Not sure this term is the best we can come up with. The rounding
strategy looks strange because the first DIV_ROUND_UP makes mul smaller
while the second makes it bigger. This is similar to

⎡ input_clk_hz * period_ns / NSEC_PER_SEC ⎤

which is probably more exact and cheaper to calculate.)

If we now had

mul > max_timebase * 512

this results in (apart from rounding errors):

input_clk_hz * period_ns / NSEC_PER_SEC > max_timebase * 512
<=> period_ns > max_timebase * 512 * NSEC_PER_SEC / input_clk_hz
<=> period_ns > pwm_chip->max_period_ns

This however is already ruled out by the first check in
img_pwm_config().

So if the rounding would be fixed, the else is a dead branch and could
be dropped completely.

Best regards
Uwe
