clk: sunxi-ng: div: add read-only operation support

Add support for sunxi-ng read-only dividers. This will be
useful to the a733 oscillator detection logic.

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but could this expose a division by zero in
divider_ro_determine_rate() if the hardware register yields an invalid valu=
e?

The new code reads a raw divider value from the hardware register and passes
it directly into divider_ro_determine_rate(). If the register is in an
uninitialized or corrupted state containing a value not present in the
associated table, the internal _get_div() helper can return 0.

Unlike divider_recalc_rate() which safely checks the divisor,
divider_ro_determine_rate() directly evaluates DIV_ROUND_UP_ULL(..., div):

drivers/clk/clk-divider.c:divider_ro_determine_rate() {
    ...
    div =3D _get_div(table, val, flags, width);
    ...
    req->rate =3D DIV_ROUND_UP_ULL((u64)req->best_parent_rate, div);
    ...
}

Since this macro performs a division, a divisor of 0 triggers a
divide-by-zero. Should the hardware value or the resulting divisor be
validated to prevent this regression during clock initialization?
