pwm: renesas-tpu: Improve precision of period and duty_cycle calculation
Dividing by the result of a division looses precision. Consider for example clk_rate = 33000000 and period_ns = 500001. Then clk_rate / (NSEC_PER_SEC / period_ns) has the exact value 16500.033, but in C this evaluates to 16508. It gets worse for even bigger values of period_ns, so with period_ns = 500000001, the exact result is 16500000.033 while in C we get 33000000. For that reason use clk_rate * period_ns / NSEC_PER_SEC instead which doesn't suffer from this problem. To ensure this doesn't overflow add a safeguard check for clk_rate. Note that duty > period can never happen, so the respective check can be dropped. Incidentally this fixes a division by zero if period_ns > NSEC_PER_SEC. Another side effect is that values bigger than INT_MAX for period and duty_cyle are not wrongly discarded any more.
