3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Derek Basehore <dbasehore@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 5d0c49acebc9488e37db95f1d4a55644e545ffe7 ]
This fixes an overflow condition that can happen with high max
brightness and period values in compute_duty_cycle. This fixes it by
using a 64 bit variable for computing the duty cycle.
