Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.19 6/9] fbdev: nvidia: Fix potential divide by zero

From: Wei Chen <harperchen1110@...il.com>

[ Upstream commit 92e2a00f2987483e1f9253625828622edd442e61 ]

variable var->pixclock can be set by user. In case it
equals to zero, divide by zero would occur in nvidiafb_set_par.

Similar crashes have happened in other fbdev drivers. There
is no check and modification on var->pixclock along the call
chain to nvidia_check_var and nvidiafb_set_par. We believe it
could also be triggered in driver nvidia from user site.
