Guenter Roeck cbe7aaaa2a hwmon: (pmbus/lm25066) Fix PMBus coefficient calculations
[ Upstream commit 0dabe8a56f ]

In lm25066_probe(), the PMBus coefficients for current and power are
scaled based on the shunt resistor value. The calculation evaluates the
multiplication using 32-bit arithmetic because info->m is an int and
shunt is a u32:

static int lm25066_probe(struct i2c_client *client) {
    ...
    info->m[PSC_CURRENT_IN] = info->m[PSC_CURRENT_IN] * shunt / 1000;
    info->m[PSC_POWER] = info->m[PSC_POWER] * shunt / 1000;
    ...
}

For large coefficients like 26882 (LM25056) or 15076 (LM5066i), a device
tree shunt-resistor-micro-ohms value exceeding approximately 159,000
(159 mOhm, which is physically valid for low-current applications) causes
the intermediate product to exceed UINT_MAX (4,294,967,295). This results
in a silent wraparound before the division by 1000.

Furthermore, if the wrapped value has the most significant bit set,
converting it back to the signed int info->m results in negative
coefficients. This logic error leads to drastically corrupted current and
power readings, which can cause erratic thermal or power management
behavior in the system.

Fix the problem by using 64-bit operations for the multiply/divide
operations. This can still overflow, but only for unreasonably large
shunt resistor values.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
