Do a sanity check on pixclock value before using it as a divisor.

Here are examples of some of the possible cirrusfb pixclock values: 40000: 25MHz 20000: 50Mhz 12500: 80MhzYou should pick the lowest supported value.In bestclock() the frequency value ("freq") is not allowed to go below 8000. if (freq < 8000) freq = 8000; If pixclock is passed in as zero to cirrusfb_check_pixclock(), is it ok to then set the value of pixclock to 125000, which will result in "freq" being set to 8000 (or adjust the passed in pixclock value to make sure "freq" does not get below 8000)?
No, clock rate is the inverse of clock period.
So the smallest clock period (fb_var_screeninfo.pixclock) corresponds
to the largest clock rate (freq in bestclock()).
