Subject: net: introduce reciprocal_scale helper and convert users
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=89770b0a69ee0e0e5e99c722192d535115f73778;p=linux-beck.git

net: introduce reciprocal_scale helper and convert users

As David Laight suggests, we shouldn't necessarily call this
reciprocal_divide() when users didn't requested a reciprocal_value();
lets keep the basic idea and call it reciprocal_scale(). More
background information on this topic can be found in [1].

Joint work with Hannes Frederic Sowa.
