ltc2992_get_power() computes the divisor for mul_u64_u32_div() as
r_sense_uohm * 1000. This multiplication overflows u32 when
r_sense_uohm exceeds about 4.29 ohms (4294967 micro-ohms), producing
a truncated divisor and an incorrect power reading.
Cancel the factor of 1000 from both the numerator
(VADC_UV_LSB * IADC_NANOV_LSB = 312500000) and the divisor
(r_sense_uohm * 1000), giving (VADC_UV_LSB / 1000) * IADC_NANOV_LSB
= 312500 as the numerator and plain r_sense_uohm as the divisor.
The cancellation is exact because LTC2992_VADC_UV_LSB (25000) is
divisible by 1000.
This is the read-path counterpart of the write-path fix applied in
the preceding patch.
