[ Upstream commit 250b76f43f57d578ebff5e7211eb2c73aa5cd6ca ]
The rate of the PWM calculated as follows:
hz = NSEC_PER_SEC / period_ns;
rate = (rate + (hz / 2)) / hz;
This has the precision loss in lower PWM rate.
Change this to have more precision as:
hz = DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST_ULL(NSEC_PER_SEC * 100, period_ns);
rate = DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(rate * 100, hz)
Example:
1. period_ns = 16672000, PWM clock rate is 200 KHz.
Based on old formula
hz = NSEC_PER_SEC / period_ns
= 1000000000ul/16672000
= 59 (59.98)
rate = (200K + 59/2)/59 = 3390
Based on new method:
hz = 5998
rate = DIV_ROUND_CLOSE(200000*100, 5998) = 3334
If we measure the PWM signal rate, we will get more accurate
period with rate value of 3334 instead of 3390.
2. period_ns = 16803898, PWM clock rate is 200 KHz.
Based on old formula:
hz = 59, rate = 3390
Based on new formula:
hz = 5951, rate = 3360
The PWM signal rate of 3360 is more near to requested period
than 3333.
