Subject: Re: [PATCH] staging: pi433: use div_u64 for 64-bit division

Hi Arnd,

we already have a patch for this: 
[PATCH 1/1] staging: pi433: fix problem with division in rf69_set_deviation
 from 20.07.2017

Maybe I did something wrong, but my first solution was exactly like your
proposal. As far as I remeber, I wasn't able to compile it that way. Therefore I
made a little bit more complicated fix. If I did something wrong and yours is
fine, we should go for yours, because it is a shorter solution.

Thanks,

Marcus
