[PATCH] drm/nv40/pm: silence GCC warnings

Building nv40_pm.o triggers these GCC warnings:
    drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nv40_pm.c: In function 'nv40_pm_clocks_pre':
    drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nv40_pm.c:164:41: warning: 'log2P' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
    drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nv40_pm.c:165:38: warning: 'M2' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
    drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nv40_pm.c:165:45: warning: 'M1' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
    drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nv40_pm.c:165:25: warning: 'N2' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
    drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nv40_pm.c:165:51: warning: 'N1' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]

But these variables seem to be initialized when used there. If the
preceding call of nv40_calc_pll() fails it will return a negative value
and this code will never be run. And if that call succeeds it will
return zero and all those five variables ought to be initialized when
used there.

Anyhow, it turns out that these warnings can be silenced by giving GCC
slightly more detailed information a little earlier. See,
get_pll_limits() returns an error-code integer (ie, negative on failure,
zero on success). And a trivial tweak to nv40_calc_pll() that takes this
into account makes these errors go away.

0) I noticed these warnings while building recent releases (eg,
v3.6-rc7, v3.6, and v3.6.1) on current Fedora 17, using Fedora's default
config. But I found identical warnings in a build log for release
v3.4-rc1. I didn't bother checking earlier releases.

1) Compile tested only (I do not have the hardware involved at hand).

2) This is not the only place where get_pll_limits()'s return value is
checked. But this is apparently the only place where GCC needs to know
that any non-zero return will be negative.
