Subject: [PATCH 3.18 28/38] backlight: pwm_bl: Fix overflow condition

3.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Derek Basehore <dbasehore@...omium.org>


[ Upstream commit 5d0c49acebc9488e37db95f1d4a55644e545ffe7 ]

This fixes an overflow condition that can happen with high max
brightness and period values in compute_duty_cycle. This fixes it by
using a 64 bit variable for computing the duty cycle.
