[PATCH V3 2/6] clk: bcm2835: clamp clock divider to highest integer only

From: Martin Sperl <kernel at martin.sperl.org>

The clock divider calculation right now clamps the
divider to the highest possible fractional divider.
So typically (BIT(div_int_bits) - 1) + 4095 / 4096.

As the fractional clock divider is alterating between
(Fosc / div_int) and (Fosc / (div_int + 1))
the divider will overflow for the (div_int + 1) case.
As with the "underflow" case we have seen for (div < 2),
we can assume that the same applies on the upper limit
as well.

So this patch will instead clamp to the divider to
(BIT(div_int_bits) - 1)
