Since the PWM framework is switching struct pwm_state.period's datatype
to u64, prepare for this transition by using div_u64 to handle a 64-bit
dividend instead of a straight division operation.

Can this patch be taken on its own?
Hellooooo ...
Conceptually it can. As the last patch depends on this one (and the
others) some coordination might be beneficial. But that's up to Thierry
to decide how (and if) he want this series to be applied.
... and on the backlight side we definitely need to know about the "if"
otherwise there's no point in taking it.
Right.

I'm happy to wait for Thierry.  Although this isn't the only set he's
currently blocking.  Is he okay?  On holiday perhaps?
