drm/msm/dp: Avoid division by zero in msm_dp_ctrl_config_msa()
An (admittedly problematic) optimization change in LLVM 20 [1] turns
known division by zero into the equivalent of __builtin_unreachable(),
which invokes undefined behavior if it is encountered in a control flow
graph, destroying code generation. When compile testing for x86_64,
objtool flags an instance of this optimization triggering in
msm_dp_ctrl_config_msa(), inlined into msm_dp_ctrl_on_stream():
drivers/gpu/drm/msm/msm.o: warning: objtool: msm_dp_ctrl_on_stream(): unexpected end of section .text.msm_dp_ctrl_on_stream
The zero division happens if the else branch in the first if statement
in msm_dp_ctrl_config_msa() is taken because pixel_div is initialized to
zero and it is not possible for LLVM to eliminate the else branch since
rate is still not known after inlining into msm_dp_ctrl_on_stream().
Transform the if statements into a switch statement with a default case
with the existing error print and an early return to avoid the invalid
division. Add a comment to note this helps the compiler, even though the
case is known to be unreachable. With this, pixel_dev's default zero
initialization can be dropped, as it is dead with this change.
