Good point. Although both 4 and NSEC_PER_SEC are signed. The later is
1000000000L. Formally speaking on x32 systems (4 * 1000 000 000L) equals
to a negative value. Though overflow still won't happen so the result will
be correct. Anyway to be on a safe side it would be better to use an explicit
unsigned literal:

+ ns = 4U * NSEC_PER_SEC / dws->max_freq * nents;
