Yes. 64-bit math is required on the above scenario if the actual pixel
clock is directly used.

But the pixel clock in code uses the KHz as the unit. E.g. If the actual
pixel clock is 89000 KHz, then 89000 will be used for the calculation.
In such case it seems that the 32-bit math is enough. 

Thanks.
