Subject[PATCH V2 2/4] pwm: tegra: Increase precision in pwm rate calculation
Date
The rate of the PWM calculated as follows:
hz = NSEC_PER_SEC / period_ns;
rate = (rate + (hz / 2)) / hz;

This has the precision loss in lower PWM rate.
Changing this to have more precision as:
hz = DIV_ROUND_CLOSE(NSEC_PER_SEC * 100, period_ns);
rate = DIV_ROUND_CLOSE(rate * 100, hz)

Example:
1. period_ns = 16672000, PWM clock rate is 200KHz.
Based on old formula
hz = NSEC_PER_SEC / period_ns
= 1000000000ul/16672000
= 59 (59.98)
rate = (200K + 59/2)/59 = 3390

Based on new method:
hz = 5998
rate = DIV_ROUND_CLOSE(200000*100, 5998) = 3334

If we measure the PWM signal rate, we will get more accurate period
with rate value of 3334 instead of 3390.

2. period_ns = 16803898, PWM clock rate is 200KHz.
Based on old formula:
hz = 60, rate = 3333
Based on new formula:
hz = 5951, rate = 3360

The rate of 3360 is more near to requested period then the 3333.
