[PATCH v3] staging: iio: frequency: ad9832/ad9834: add comment explaining do_div usage

[Mohamad Raizudeen <raizudeen.kerneldev@gmail.com>]

Previous attempts to change do_div() to div64_ul were rejected because
mclk will always fit within 32 fits for this hardware, making do_div()
safe to use.

However, Coccinelle continues to flag this as a false positive. To
prevent future developers from submitting unnecessary fixes, add a
comment explaining why do_div() is intentionally kept.
