Dividing by the result of a division looses precision. Consider for example
clk_rate = 33000000 and period_ns = 500001. Then
clk_rate / (NSEC_PER_SEC / period_ns)
has the exact value 16500.033, but in C this evaluates to 16508. It gets
worse for even bigger values of period_ns, so with period_ns = 500000001,
the exact result is 16500000.033 while in C we get 33000000.
For that reason use
clk_rate * period_ns / NSEC_PER_SEC
instead which doesn't suffer from this problem. To ensure this doesn't
overflow add a safeguard check for clk_rate.
Note that duty > period can never happen, so the respective check can be
dropped.
Incidentally this fixes a division by zero if period_ns > NSEC_PER_SEC.
Another side effect is that values bigger than INT_MAX for period and
duty_cyle are not wrongly discarded any more.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
