When does _get_div() return 0? It can't be CLK_DIVIDER_MAX_AT_ZERO or
CLK_DIVIDER_POWER_OF_TWO. I suppose it could be CLK_DIVIDER_ONE_BASED if
CLK_DIVIDER_ALLOW_ZERO is set? Or just CLK_DIVIDER_ALLOW_ZERO is set? Or
a table that has 0 in it for some odd reason.

Can you please give more details on what's happening here? Who's the
caller? What are the arguments being passed in? Shouldn't we check for
CLK_DIVIDER_ALLOW_ZERO and then return prate as it comes in instead of
returning an error?
