Thanks for your patch. It looks fine, but I think that it has to
be extended.

In CR1 register, MCKDIV = 0 gives the same result as MCKDIV = 1.
But while MCKDIV = 0 is valid, for sure div = 0 is not valid.

I agree that that div = 0 has to be managed as an error
This could be rather handled in stm32_sai_get_clk_div() function itself,
by returning an error, if div is null.
This is relevant as we may also get an error on test "if (input_rate % 
div)".
I suggest to add a specific test and error message to handle this case 
in stm32_sai_get_clk_div().
Something like:
if (!div)) {
	dev_err(&sai->pdev->dev, "Invalid null divider\n");
	return -EINVAL;
}

BRs
Olivier
