This fixes and overflow condition that happens with a high value of
brightness-levels-scale by using a 64-bit variable. The issue would
prevent a range of higher brightness levels from being set.

I don't think your commit message accurately describes the change here.
The overflow that you're preventing might happen with a large value of
pb->period (or rather, in combination with a large value of duty_cycle)
but it's unrelated to pb->scale.
Also, the semantics of do_div() are that it takes an unsigned dividend,
so your duty_cycle should be a u64.

I'm referring to the of property brightness-levels-scale. If there
aren't levels defined in a DTS, duty_cycle can be up to this value.
I'll change the CM to describe what's happening based on the variable
names from the function instead.

I'll change it.

I don't see a brightness-levels-scale property in either the DT bindings
or the pwm-backlight driver. Do you have any pointers?

Did not mean to send this in-reply to. It seems that git send-email
was not applying my "PATCH v2" prefix. Will resend as a separate
thread.

This fixes an overflow condition that can happen with high max
brightness and period values in compute_duty_cycle. This fixes it by
using a 64 bit variable for computing the duty cycle.
