[ Upstream commit 61b6034c6cfdcb265bb453505c3d688e7567727a ]
is_power_of_2 expects unsigned long and we pass u64 max_val_cycles, this will be truncated on 32 bit systems, and the result is not what we were expecting.div_u64 expects u32 as a second argument and we pass max_val_cycles_rounded which is u64 hence it will always be truncated. Fix was tested on both 64 and 32 bit systems and got same results for max_val_cycles and max_val_cycles_rounded.
