Subject: [PATCH v3 3/8] i2c: max2175: use 64-bit arithmetic instead of 32-bit

Add suffix LL to constant 2 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
s64 (64 bits, signed).

The expression 2 * (clock_rate - abs_nco_freq) is currently being
evaluated using 32-bit arithmetic.

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

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