Replace the loop to calculate the pre-divider and count with two separate div64_u64() calculations. This makes the code easier to read and improves the precision. Three example cases: 1) 32.768kHz LPO clock for the SDIO wifi chip on Khadas VIM clock input: 500MHz (FCLK_DIV4) period: 30518ns duty cycle: 15259ns old algorithm: pre_div=0, cnt=15259 new algorithm: pre_div=0, cnt=15259 (no difference in calculated values) 2) PWM LED on Khadas VIM clock input: 24MHz (XTAL) period: 7812500ns duty cycle: 7812500ns old algorithm: pre_div=2, cnt=62004 new algorithm: pre_div=2, cnt=62500 Using a scope (24MHz sampling rate) shows the actual difference: - old: 7753000ns, off by -59500ns (0.7616%) - new: 7815000ns, off by +2500ns (0.032%) 3) Theoretical case where pre_div is different clock input: 24MHz (XTAL) period: 2730624ns duty cycle: 1365312ns old algorithm: pre_div=1, cnt=32768 new algorithm: pre_div=0, cnt=65534 Using a scope (24MHz sampling rate) shows the actual difference: - old: 2731000ns - new: 2731000ns (my scope is not precise enough to measure the difference if there's any) Suggested-by: Uwe Kleine-König <u.kleine-koenig@pengutronix.de> Acked-by: Uwe Kleine-König <u.kleine-koenig@pengutronix.de> Reviewed-by: Neil Armstrong <narmstrong@baylibre.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Blumenstingl <martin.blumenstingl@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: Thierry Reding <thierry.reding@gmail.com>
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.
