Hi; Coverity reports a possibly-overflowing arithmetic operation here
(CID 1442342):

Here all of p->cmr, p->cnr and NPCM7XX_PWM_MAX_DUTY are 32-bits,
so we calculate the whole expression using 32-bit arithmetic
before assigning it to a 64-bit variable. This could be
fixed using eg a cast of NPCM7XX_PWM_MAX_DUTY to uint64_t.

Incidentally, we don't actually do any 64-bit
arithmetic calculations on 'duty' and we return
a uint32_t from this function, so 'duty' itself could
be a uint32_t, I think...
