Subject: ARC: Fix __udelay calculation
From: Mischa Jonker <mjonker@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 7efd0da2d17360e1cef91507dbe619db0ee2c691 upstream.
Cast usecs to u64, to ensure that the (usecs * 4295 * HZ)
multiplication is 64 bit.
Initially, the (usecs * 4295 * HZ) part was done as a 32 bit
multiplication, with the result casted to 64 bit. This led to some bits
falling off, causing a "DMA initialization error" in the stmmac Ethernet
driver, due to a premature timeout.
