Subject: [PATCH v3 2/8] dvb-frontends: ves1820: use 64-bit arithmetic instead
 of 32-bit

Add suffix ULL to constant 10 in order to give the compiler complete
information about the proper arithmetic to use. Notice that this
constant is used in a context that expects an expression of type
u64 (64 bits, unsigned).

The expression fpxin = state->config->xin * 10 is currently being
evaluated using 32-bit arithmetic.

Addresses-Coverity-ID: 200604 ("Unintentional integer overflow")

Changes in v2:
 - Update subject and changelog to better reflect the proposed code changes.
 - Add suffix ULL to constant instead of casting a variable.

Changes in v3:
 - Mention the specific Coverity report in the commit message.
