I guess division by zero could be caused by lack of clock in timings provided by dts timing node. As I remember in the past dts timings were passed without provided clock, in such case driver calculated mode->clock for some default value of vrefresh (60Hz for fimd if I remember correctly). Later validation code was added and the clock should be always provided. DTS files were updated after some time and the recalculation code was removed from fimd driver. So it is possible you are a victim of this change. Regarding usage by drivers, from a quick look it seems to be used for something more than debugging by: - amdgpu, - exynos, - adv7511, - intel_dp(?), - mdp5_cmd_encoder(?), - nouveau, - omap(?), - tilcdc.
