When trying to use CMT for clockevents on R-Car gen3 SoCs, I noticed that
the maximum delta (in ns) for the broadcast timer was diplayed as 1000 in
/proc/timer_list.  It turned out that when calculating it, the driver did
shift left 1 by 32 (causing what I think was undefined behaviour) getting
1 as a result. Using 1UL instead fixed the maximum delta and did even fix
switching an active clocksource to a CMT channel (which caused the system
to go non-interactive before).

This patch is against the 'tip.git' repo's 'timers/core' branch.

I am not sure whether the CMT driver was ever used on SH64; on R-Car gen3
(ARM64) I'm only enabling this driver now, so not sure how urgent is this...

Shouldn't all those fields/variables be changed from "unsigned long" to "u32",
as they really should match the CMT's register sizes?

To clarify: the if-check above is intended to catch a shift by 32. But it
fails to do that on 64-bit platforms, as max_match_value is unsigned long,
and its size thus depends on the platform, while the CMT's register sizes
are fixed to 32-bit.

Hence please fix the real bug (abuse of unsigned long for 32-bit values all
over the place), instead of papering over it.

Thanks!
