Although I like the idea of using the same type as the
dev_pm_opp_find_freq_exact() interface, but I do not agree with severity
of this. This is currently only ARMv7 (32-bit) driver, so using long
does not change anything. It's still 4 bytes and it is still up to 4
GHz.

Therefore on ARMv7, the possibility of overflow is exactly the same as
before. Nothing was fixed.

If we really want to fix it, then all this should be "long long" or
value should be checked while parsing DT.

Semantically I agree, so I would prefer to adjust only the commit
message.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
