A new commit in LLVM causes an error on the use of 'long double' when
'-mno-x87' is used, which the kernel does through an alias,
'-mno-80387' (see the LLVM commit below for more details around why it
does this).

3 errors generated.

This happens due to the use of a 'long double' literal. The 'E6' part of
'1E6L' causes the literal to be a 'double' then the 'L' suffix promotes
it to 'long double'.

There is no visible reason for floating point values in this driver, as
the values are only assigned to integer types. Use NSEC_PER_MSEC, which
is the same integer value as '1E6L', to avoid changing functionality but
fix the error.

Thanks, queued to power-supply's fixes branch.
Is there a timeline for getting this to Linus, since it has been a month
and a half now since this was applied? It breaks several x86_64 configs
with tip of tree clang, which harms our testing of the upcoming release,
and other people are now tripping over this and reporting it on the LLVM
issue tracker:

https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/52924

Also, I noticed that your fixes branch is not flowing into linux-next,
meaning this is not fixed there either. Would it be possible for you to
ask Stephen Rothwell to add it?

Cheers,
Nathan

* A separate review pointed out that NSEC_PER_MSEC is a better choice
  than USEC_PER_SEC because ktime_t is nanoseconds and the few functions
  that take these values work in nanoseconds. The value is the same but
  the documentation is better.

* Pick up Nick's review tag.
