pwm: meson: Simplify the calculation of the pre-divider and count



Replace the loop to calculate the pre-divider and count with two
separate div64_u64() calculations. This makes the code easier to read
and improves the precision.

Three example cases:
1) 32.768kHz LPO clock for the SDIO wifi chip on Khadas VIM
   clock input: 500MHz (FCLK_DIV4)
   period: 30518ns
   duty cycle: 15259ns
old algorithm: pre_div=0, cnt=15259
new algorithm: pre_div=0, cnt=15259
(no difference in calculated values)

2) PWM LED on Khadas VIM
   clock input: 24MHz (XTAL)
   period: 7812500ns
   duty cycle: 7812500ns
old algorithm: pre_div=2, cnt=62004
new algorithm: pre_div=2, cnt=62500
Using a scope (24MHz sampling rate) shows the actual difference:
- old: 7753000ns, off by -59500ns (0.7616%)
- new: 7815000ns, off by +2500ns (0.032%)

3) Theoretical case where pre_div is different
   clock input: 24MHz (XTAL)
   period: 2730624ns
   duty cycle: 1365312ns
old algorithm: pre_div=1, cnt=32768
new algorithm: pre_div=0, cnt=65534
Using a scope (24MHz sampling rate) shows the actual difference:
- old: 2731000ns
- new: 2731000ns
(my scope is not precise enough to measure the difference if there's
any)
