Hmm. This is nasty error that had hit me back and occurs when you
do 64 bit arithmetic in your code and assume it will also build for
32 bit environment(i386).

https://lists.01.org/pipermail/kbuild-all/2018-July/050481.html

But looking at the code seems like there is no such 64 bit division
which is why 0-day didn't inform you the exact line of error unlike
my case in above link.

And I suspect it may be originating from your code snippet:

#define FXAS21002C_SCALE(scale) (IIO_DEGREE_TO_RAD(62500U >> (scale)))

and looking at the implementation:

include/linux/iio/iio.h
/**
 * IIO_DEGREE_TO_RAD() - Convert degree to rad
 * @deg: A value in degree
 *
 * Returns the given value converted from degree to rad
 */
#define IIO_DEGREE_TO_RAD(deg) (((deg) * 314159ULL + 9000000ULL) / 18000000ULL)

This '/' operator might be the culprit!

Just for checking that the error, remove the macro declaration `FXAS21002C_SCALE`
plus its usage and re-cross compile using `make ARCH=i386`.

In my case I used the `div64_s64` function handles builds for both 32/64
arch accordingly.

Thanks
