That is one of patchcheck's worse warnings.
You need to check the domain of the divisor, not its type.
do_div() exists to avoid expensive 64bit divides when the
divisor is small.

Moreover, the patch is broken by itself.
See [1] were it was already reported that do_div() and div64_u64() don't
have the same calling convention.
Looks that div64_u64() and div64_ul() works the same way.

We could mark those as __must_check functions.

That, and some kind of AI system to filter out untested patches
from (presumably) students who think that the output from these
tools 'must be right'.
Same for all the patches for using swap(), min() LIST_HEAD() etc.
They are at best churn and make the code harder to read.

Churn is kind of the whole point of staging. Generally, churn is a net
positive for any subsystem. It's good to get eyes on the code.
The truth is that I looked at this patch and thought "I don't know
what do_div() does" so I moved on. This is the first time we've ever
recieved a staging patch to convert do_div(). Next time we will all
know the issues with do_div() better.
Adding a __must_check is a good safety measure as well.
I've looked at adding a Smatch check for ignoring the returns for
functions which have no side effects but I've never completed that
work... :(
