dpll: zl3073x: do not offer 0 Hz as a supported pin frequency

This patch stops zl3073x_pin_props_get() from putting the current pin
frequency into the supported list when it reads back as 0 Hz. If the
list ends up empty, it is freed and not published, because the DPLL
core rejects an empty non-NULL list.

[Severity: Medium]
Can 0 Hz still end up offered through the firmware list?

The subject says 0 Hz is no longer offered. However, only a 0 Hz current
frequency is filtered.

Suppose the "supported-frequencies-hz" property has a 0 entry and
curr_freq is nonzero. That entry is not skipped by the
freqs[i] == curr_freq check. It goes on to zl3073x_pin_check_freq(),
which has no zero check at this commit:

drivers/dpll/zl3073x/prop.c:zl3073x_pin_check_freq() {
	if (freq > U32_MAX)
		goto err_inv_freq;
     ...
		/* Check the frequency divides synth frequency */
		if (synth_freq % (u32)freq)
			goto err_inv_freq;
     ...
}

On an output pin, does this divide by zero during probe?

On an input pin, zl3073x_ref_freq_factorize(0, ...) succeeds on the first
base frequency of 1. Here 0 / 1 = 0 <= U16_MAX and 0 % 1 == 0, so 0 Hz is
published as supported. It could then be programmed with base 1 and
multiplier 0.

The dpll-pin.yaml binding sets no minimum for supported-frequencies-hz,
so the schema does not reject 0.

A later patch in this series, "dpll: zl3073x: reject output frequencies
with too small divisor", changes the first check in
zl3073x_pin_check_freq() to:

	if (!freq || freq > U32_MAX)
		goto err_inv_freq;

That fixes this by the end of the series. At this intermediate commit,
though, the 0 Hz case is still reachable from firmware.

Would it make sense to move the !freq check into this patch? Bisection
would then not land on a kernel that can still divide by zero here.

Yes, I will move the !freq check into this patch.

Thanks,
Ivan
