[PATCH 4.19 56/85] staging: comedi: dt3000: Fix signed integer overflow divider * base

commit b4d98bc3fc93ec3a58459948a2c0e0c9b501cd88 upstream.

In `dt3k_ns_to_timer()` the following lines near the end of the function
result in a signed integer overflow:

prescale = 15;
base = timer_base * (1 << prescale);
divider = 65535;
*nanosec = divider * base;

(`divider`, `base` and `prescale` are type `int`, `timer_base` and
`*nanosec` are type `unsigned int`. The value of `timer_base` will be
either 50 or 100.)

The main reason for the overflow is that the calculation for `base` is
completely wrong. It should be:

base = timer_base * (prescale + 1);

which matches an earlier instance of this calculation in the same
function.
