Subject: [PATCH v2 2/4] pwm: jz4740: Enhance precision in calculation of duty cycle

Calculating the hardware value for the duty from the hardware value of
the period resulted in a precision loss versus calculating it from the
clock rate directly.

(Also remove a cast that doesn't really need to be here)

Notes:
    v2: New patch. I don't consider this a fix but an enhancement, since the old
    	behaviour was in place since the driver was born in ~2010, so no Fixes tag.
