When timer_calc_usec() is used with large timeout falues, such as 60s,

obviously a typo ->values.

The problem occurred with the TPM driver where we are given usec values by the hardware and specs and want to call the timer_calc_usec() function. That function works well for small values but fails once the values become larger.

the function lacks precision and produces different results than when
using timer_calc(time / 1000) for the same timeout. This patch fixes
the precision issue by falling back to timer_calc(time / 1000) for
usec values over one second.
