Subject: [PATCH v2 3/3] pwm: meson: improve pwm calculation precision.

When using input clocks with high rates, such as clk81 (166MHz), the
fin_ns = NSEC_PER_SEC / fin_freq can introduce a significant error.

Ex: fin_freq = 166666667, NSEC_PER_SEC = 1000000000
    fin_ns = 5,9999999

which is, of course, rounded down to 5. This introduce an error of ~20%
on the period requested from the pwm.

This patch use ps instead of ns (and 64bits integer) to perform the
calculation. This should give a good enough precision.

Fixes: 211ed630753d ("pwm: Add support for Meson PWM Controller")
