I've been trying to figure out if this matters in reality.
i.e. whether or not sampling_us is big enough for us to need
64 bit multiplication.
It's equal to the output for the macro SAMPLING_PERIOD(c)
(int_time_vbus + int_time_vshunt) * avg
So taking max values
(8244 + 68100) * 1024 = 78176256
Then * 1000 which brings it well into the > 32bit range.
So the next question is when was this introduced.
I guess it was Stefan's recent patch but haven't checked yet...
Marc / Stephan, could you check if we are correct in thinking this is a real
bug rather than just a numerical oddity?
Thanks,
Jonathan
