Replace the use of struct timeval and do_gettimeofday() with 64 bit ktime_get_real_seconds. Prevents 32-bit type overflow in year 2038 on 32-bit systems.
Driver was using the seconds portion of struct timeval (.tv_secs) to pass a millseconds timestamp to the firmware. This change maintains that same behavior using ktime_get_real_seconds. The structure used to pass the timestamp to firmware is 48 bits and works fine as long as the top 16 bits are zero and they will be zero for a long time..ie. thousands of years. Alternative Change: Add sub second granularity to timestamp As noted above, the driver only used the seconds portion of timeval, ignores the microseconds portion, and by multiplying by 1000 effectively does a <<10 and always writes zero into timestamp[0]. The alternative change would pass all the bits to the firmware: struct timespec64 ts; ktime_get_real_ts64(&ts); timestamp = ts.tv_sec * MSEC_PER_SEC + ts.tv_nsec / NSEC_PER_MSEC; MAINTAINER: Please request alternate change if preferred.
