uart_update_timeout() sets a u64 value to an unsigned int frame_time.
While it can be cast to u32 before assignment, there's a specific case
where frame_time is cast to u64. Since frame_time consistently
participates in u64 arithmetic, its data type is converted to u64 to
eliminate the need for explicit casting.

And make the divisions by the order of magnutude slower for no good reason? (Hint: have you looked what DIV64_U64_ROUND_UP() looks like on 32bit yet?)

Unless you provide a reason it can overflow in real (in fact you spell the opposite in the text above):

v2:
- use DIV64_U64_ROUND_UP with frame_time
