The return type of div_u64 is u64(unsigned long long), there is a
compulsory type conversion operator. Do you think it is needed?
BTW, we just need to change the type of sample_ns to unsigned int, no
matter which method is used, what is your opinion?

clk_src is more than MHz and less than GHZ for MTK i2c controller, so it
wouldn't cause too much loss of precision.
