Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

wifi: rtw89: 8852a: rfk: fix div 0 exception

The DPK is a kind of RF calibration whose algorithm is to fine tune
parameters and calibrate, and check the result. If the result isn't good
enough, it could adjust parameters and try again.

This issue is to read and show the result, but it could be a negative
calibration result that causes divisor 0 and core dump. So, fix it by
phy_div() that does division only if divisor isn't zero; otherwise,
zero is adopted.
