Rename the variable size to temp and change its data type from unsigned int to u64 to avoid type casting in multiplication. Remove the intermediate variable frame_time and use temp instead to accommodate the nanoseconds(ns). port->frame_time is an unsigned int, therefore an explicit cast is used to improve readability. Having said this unsigned int is sufficinet to hold frame time duration in nanoseconds for all the standard baudrates. Consider 9600 baud, it takes 1/9600 seconds for one bit, for a total of 10 bits (start, 8-bit data, stop) 10/9600=1.04 ms for 1 byte transfer, frame_time here is 1041667ns. As baudrate increases frame_time decreases, say for 115200 baud it is 86806ns. To avoid costly 64-bit arithmetic we do not upconvert the type for variable frame_time as overflow happens for extremely low baudrates which are impractical and are not used in real-world applications.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
