All findings from code analysis tools must be carefully evaluated to filter wheat out of chaff and this falls into the latter category. Please make sure next time you understand and explain also in the changelog how the problem can be manifested for real before sending this kind of patches.

This patch addresses the following Coverity report, fix it by casting sport->port.frame_time to type u64. CID 32305660: Unintentional integer overflow (OVERFLOW_BEFORE_WIDEN) Potentially overflowing expression sport->port.frame_time * 8U with type unsigned int (32 bits, unsigned) is evaluated using 32-bit arithmetic, and then used in a context that expects an expression of type u64 (64 bits, unsigned).
