Hi Frank,

Thanks for the review.

Agreed on both points. Per the DWC MIPI I3C databook
(SCL_I3C_OD_TIMING), I3C_OD_HCNT is an 8-bit field (bits 23:16), so
values above 255 cannot be programmed in hardware. In v3 I will:

1. Switch to DIV_ROUND_UP_ULL(..., NSEC_PER_SEC) for 32-bit safety

2. Compute od_hcnt in a wider type and clamp it to U8_MAX so it cannot
    silently truncate

At core clocks above ~1.28 GHz the controller cannot meet tHIGH_INIT
(200 ns) anyway; clamping to 0xff gives the longest programmable high time.

Thanks,
Tze Yee
