I found this in the coverity scan with CID:1586045 stating

overflow_before_widen: Potentially overflowing expression ts->min_period * ts->mult with type 
unsigned int (32 bits, unsigned) is evaluated using 32-bit arithmetic, and then used in a 
context that expects an expression of type int64_t const (64 bits, signed).

I thought that this is a fix to this coverity issue thus used fix in the
subject. 
If I have to mention the fix tag for this then can you please let me
know what should I mention in the fix tag.
