Hi Balbir,

Thanks for reviewing the patch!

s->target_residency is an "unsigned int" so can take a maximum value
of UINT_MAX. tb_ticks_per_usec is an "unsigned long" with a value in
the range of 100-1000. The return value is a u64. The product of
s->target_residency and tb_ticks_per_usec should be contained in u64.

Is there a potential case of overflow that I am missing ?
