[PATCH v2 1/2] drm/atmel-hlcdc: prefer a higher rate clock as pixel-clock base

If the divider used to get the pixel-clock is small, the granularity
of the frequencies possible for the pixel-clock is quite coarse. E.g.
requesting a pixel-clock of 65MHz with a sys_clk of 132MHz results
in the divider being set to 3 ending up with 44MHz.

By preferring the doubled sys_clk as base, the divider instead ends
up as 5 yielding a pixel-clock of 52.8Mhz, which is a definite
improvement.

While at it, clamp the divider so that it does not overflow in case
it gets big.
