First, I agree that using (u64)(u32) is confusing and not intuitive,
even if there are some similar examples in kernel code.

The reason why I thought I had to opt for it though is the following: I
was worried that if the int value of 'clock' in
skl_ddi_calculate_wrpll() is big enough (specifically, high bit is 1),
then after casting it to long or u64 in this case, the resulting value
of wider type will have all its ~32 upper bits also set to 1, per rules
of Integer Promotion. Changing the type from signed to unsigned, then to
bigger unsigned seems to mitigate *this* particular issue and I can't
come up with a more elegant solution at the moment. Correct me if I'm
wrong somewhere.

Also, while port clock may be able to fit its value timed 1000 into 31
bits, multiplying it by 5 to get AFE Clock value, as far as I can see,
*will* lead to overflow, as 2,000,000,000 * 5 won't fit into 32 bits.

To sum it up, with current max possible port clock values an integer
overflow can occur and changing 'clock' parameter from int to u64 may
lead to a different issue. If my understanding about integer promotion
is flawed, I'll gladly send v2 patch with your solution.

Nikita
