Hi Axel,
I don't really see the value in this series. It does not really improve
anything,
or make the code smaller.
Though there is nothing wrong in original code.
IMHO, I think use DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST is less error prone than having
the similar calculation in various drivers.
That is more applicable to the SCALE macro or function itself, though.
For example, if you look into adm9240.c, you'll notice that SCALE returns
an int but gets a long as argument. This is asking for overflows. Also,
it is called prior to calling clamp_val, which again invites overflow errors.
Sure, those are corner cases, and especially the clamp_val problem would
be difficult to address, but getting rid of SCALE entirely would at least
address the long->int overflow problem. Your patch doesn't do that.
In other cases, SCALE uses a multiplication factor of 1, which means it is
really unnecessary and could be replaced directly with DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST.
In other words, I'd be more inclined to accept patches which get rid of
the SCALE macro or function entirely.
Thanks,
Guenter
