Good catch, although it's never going to be zero as that case has already
been ruled out by the previous if() statement. However, to change the
code to be more readable, I revised the patch a bit like below:

    i2c: imx: choose the better clock divider

    The original algorithm doesn't perform very well in some cases, e.g.

      When the source clock of the I2C controller is 66MHz, and the
      requested rate is 100KHz, it gives a divider of 768 instead of
      the better 640.

    Choose a better clock divider so the final clock rate is closer to
    the requested one by comparing the rate distances calculated by
    two adjacent dividers.
