Isn't it too many repetitive abs() calls?

What about

// Create a macro and use for u16 (struct rn5t618_channel_ratios), s16
(struct twl4030_prescale_divider_ratios), s32 (can be reused in struct
rescale)
struct u32_fract {
  u32 numerator;
  u32 denominator;
};
// (potential reuse in struct hclge_ptp_cycle) and so on...

  struct u32_fract fract = {
    .numerator = abs(rescale->numerator),
    .denominator = abs(rescale->denominator),
  };

// obviously we can add a macro/inliner to abs() the fract struct and
return original sign

and reuse fract.numerator, fract.denominator?
