I'm merely stating that your change includes changing the
type of the value returned (cxd2820r_div_u64_round_closest()
returns u32, DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST_ULL() returns U64). So
in that respect, your patch is not completely trivial.
That said, as you point out (and I also did a quick check)
it does not seem to be an issue here.
The bug (if you call it that) existed before your patch, and
I am not suggesting you change anything. Just hoping for
a verification that the different return type does not
lead to any problems. I'm convinced.
