Subject: [PATCH] ARM: at91: panic when the mck rate is zero

If the mck rate is zero, we'll hit the following warning:

WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at arch/arm/mach-at91/at91sam926x_time.c:257 at91sam926x_pit_init+0x13c/0x260()

But the kernel will continue to try booting and face a lot of divisions by zero
when trying to handle the various clocks.
