watchdog: s3c2410_wdt: Handle rounding a little better for timeout
The existing watchdog timeout worked OK but didn't deal with rounding in an ideal way when dividing out all of its clocks. Specifically if you had a timeout of 32 seconds and an input clock of 66666666, you'd end up setting a timeout of 31.9998 seconds and reporting a timeout of 31 seconds. Specifically DBG printouts showed: s3c2410wdt_set_heartbeat: count=16666656, timeout=32, freq=520833 s3c2410wdt_set_heartbeat: timeout=32, divisor=255, count=16666656 (0000ff4f) and the final timeout reported to the user was: ((count / divisor) * divisor) / freq (0xff4f * 255) / 520833 = 31 (truncated from 31.9998) the technically "correct" value is: (0xff4f * 255) / (66666666.0 / 128) = 31.9998 By using "DIV_ROUND_UP" we can be a little more correct. s3c2410wdt_set_heartbeat: count=16666688, timeout=32, freq=520834 s3c2410wdt_set_heartbeat: timeout=32, divisor=255, count=16666688 (0000ff50) and the final timeout reported to the user: (0xff50 * 255) / 520834 = 32 the technically "correct" value is: (0xff50 * 255) / (66666666.0 / 128) = 32.0003 We'll use a DIV_ROUND_UP to solve this, generally erroring on the side of reporting shorter values to the user and setting the watchdog to slightly longer than requested: * Round input frequency up to assume watchdog is counting faster. * Round divisions by divisor up to give us extra time. At the same time we can avoid a for loop by just doing the right math.
