arch/arm/src/at32/at32_can: Division by Zero in CAN Bit Timing Commands

An unchecked integer assignment in the CAN driver may result in a division-by-zero which would result in a kernel crash (denial of service).

Tested locally, builds fine.

An unchecked integer assignment in the CAN driver may result in a division-by-zero which would result in a kernel crash (denial of service).

The CAN driver `can_ioctl` function, shown below (drivers/can/can.c), receives commands from user processes. Its received arguments `cmd` and content of `arg` are under attacker's control. In the CAN driver, some `ioctl` commands are hardware specific and are processed by calling `dev_ioctl()`. Subsequently, depending on the hardware (STM32 or AT32), this function calls `fdcan_ioctl` or `at32can_ioctl`, as shown in the snippets that follow.

```c

static int can_ioctl(FAR struct file *filep, int cmd, unsigned long arg)
{
  FAR struct inode        *inode  = filep->f_inode;
  FAR struct can_dev_s    *dev    = inode->i_private;
  FAR struct can_reader_s *reader = filep->f_priv;
...
  flags = enter_critical_section();

  /* Handle built-in ioctl commands */
  switch (cmd)
    {
...
      /* Not a "built-in" ioctl command.. perhaps it is unique to this
       * lower-half, device driver. */
      default:
        {
          ret = dev_ioctl(dev, cmd, arg);
        }
        break;
    }

  leave_critical_section(flags);
  return ret;
}
```

There are a few instances where the user can trigger a kernel crash, caused by a division by zero on `CANIOC_SET_BITTIMING` command. On STM32 platforms (arch/arm/src/stm32/stm32_fdcan.c), while there is a `DEBUGASSERT` assertion for `bt->bt_baud`, the check does not cover value `0`.

```c
static const struct can_ops_s g_fdcanops =
{
...
  .co_ioctl         = fdcan_ioctl,
...
};

static int fdcan_ioctl(struct can_dev_s *dev, int cmd, unsigned long arg)
{
...
  switch (cmd)
    {
...
      case CANIOC_SET_BITTIMING:
        {
          const struct canioc_bittiming_s *bt = (const struct canioc_bittiming_s *)arg;
          uint32_t nbrp;
          uint32_t ntseg1;
          uint32_t ntseg2;
          uint32_t nsjw;
          uint32_t ie;
          uint8_t state;

          DEBUGASSERT(bt != NULL);
          DEBUGASSERT(bt->bt_baud < STM32_FDCANCLK_FREQUENCY); // <- not valid
          DEBUGASSERT(bt->bt_sjw > 0 && bt->bt_sjw <= 16);
          DEBUGASSERT(bt->bt_tseg1 > 1 && bt->bt_tseg1 <= 64);
          DEBUGASSERT(bt->bt_tseg2 > 0 && bt->bt_tseg2 <= 16);

          /* Extract bit timing data */
          ntseg1 = bt->bt_tseg1 - 1;
          ntseg2 = bt->bt_tseg2 - 1;
          nsjw   = bt->bt_sjw   - 1;

          nbrp = (uint32_t)
            (  ((float) STM32_FDCANCLK_FREQUENCY /
               ((float)(ntseg1 + ntseg2 + 3) * (float)bt->bt_baud)) - 1 ); // <- div by 0
```

Similarly, another division by zero was found in Artery Technology AT32 (arch/arm/src/stm32/stm32_can.c) driver:

```c
static const struct can_ops_s g_canops =
{
...
  .co_ioctl         = at32can_ioctl,
...
};

static int at32can_ioctl(struct can_dev_s *dev, int cmd, unsigned long arg)
{
...
  /* Handle the command */
  switch (cmd)
    {
...
      case CANIOC_SET_BITTIMING:
        {
          const struct canioc_bittiming_s *bt = (const struct canioc_bittiming_s *)arg;
...
          uint32_t tmp;
          uint32_t regval;

          DEBUGASSERT(bt != NULL);
          DEBUGASSERT(bt->bt_baud < AT32_PCLK1_FREQUENCY); // <- not valid
          DEBUGASSERT(bt->bt_sjw > 0 && bt->bt_sjw <= 4);
          DEBUGASSERT(bt->bt_tseg1 > 0 && bt->bt_tseg1 <= 16);
          DEBUGASSERT(bt->bt_tseg2 > 0 && bt->bt_tseg2 <=  8);

          regval = at32can_getreg(priv, AT32_CAN_BTMG_OFFSET);

          /* Extract bit timing data tmp is in clocks per bit time */
          tmp = AT32_PCLK1_FREQUENCY / bt->bt_baud; // <- div by 0
```

Instances found are listed in the *Location* section below. They are not shown in detail to reduce the length of the issue.

Ensure the attacker-controlled data is properly validated before use, to stop division by zero situations. For instance:

```c
DEBUGASSERT(bt->bt_baud > 0 && bt->bt_baud < AT32_PCLK1_FREQUENCY);
