The new adjustment should be based on the base frequency, not the

This issue was introduced in commit 3626a690b717 ("i40e: use
mul_u64_u64_div_u64 for PTP frequency calculation"), and was fixed in
commit 1060707e3809 ("ptp: introduce helpers to adjust by scaled
parts per million"). However the latter is a new feature and hasn't been
backported to the stable releases.
This issue affects both v6.0 and v6.1 versions, and the v6.1 version is
an LTS version.

This straight forward fix makes sense. However, it wasn't obvious to me
without context why the 3626a690b717 ("i40e: use mul_u64_u64_div_u64 for
PTP frequency calculation") was where the fault got introduced. Thus,
here is that context for anyone else who failed to spot it just looking
at shrunk patch diffs.

frequency is left just as base I40E_PTP_40GB_INCVAL.

So the base here can't be freq since we modify freq above using *=, but
using I40E_PTP_40GB_INCVAL is consistent.
/* At some link speeds, the base incval is so large that directly

Finally, the multiply is applied last. This affects the combined base +
difference, and is done in order to avoid overflowing the *= used in the
original implementation.

Here, we assign freq to be the I40E_PTP_40GB_INCVAL times the
ptp_adj_mult value, and then we don't modify it, instead using
mul_u64_u64_div_u64.
if (neg_adj)
adj = I40E_PTP_40GB_INCVAL - diff;
else
adj = I40E_PTP_40GB_INCVAL + diff;
But then the diff is applied on the wrong value, and no multiplication
is done afterwards.

Using adjust_by_scaled_ppm correctly performs the calculation and uses
the base adjustment, so there's no error here.

Thanks for finding and fixing this mistake. I think its the simplest fix
to get into the stable kernel that are broken, since taking the
adjust_by_scaled_ppm version would require additional patches.
