I think the reason why it complains is because temp is s64. So it infers
that the idea was that the result of the multiplication can be larger
than 64 bit. For 32bit * 32bit -> 32bit it should not complain.

Maybe just change the type of temp to u32. There is also
mul_u64_u32_div() which could be used here to further simplify things.
