pwm: bcm2835: Improve period and duty cycle calculation

With an input clk rate bigger than 2000000000, scaler would have been
zero which then would have resulted in a division by zero.

Also the originally implemented algorithm divided by the result of a
division. This nearly always looses precision. Consider a requested period
of 1000000 ns. With an input clock frequency of 32786885 Hz the hardware
was configured with an actual period of 983869.007 ns (PERIOD = 32258)
while the hardware can provide 1000003.508 ns (PERIOD = 32787).
And note if the input clock frequency was 32786886 Hz instead, the hardware
was configured to 1016656.477 ns (PERIOD = 33333) while the optimal
setting results in 1000003.477 ns (PERIOD = 32787).

This patch implements proper range checking and only divides once for
the calculation of period (and similar for duty_cycle).
