drm/i915/backlight: Return immediately when scale() finds invalid parameters
The scale() functions detects invalid parameters, but continues
its calculations anyway. This causes bad results if negative values
are used for unsigned operations. Worst case, a division by 0 error
will be seen if source_min == source_max.

On top of that, after v6.13, the sequence of WARN_ON() followed by clamp()
may result in a build error with gcc 13.x.

drivers/gpu/drm/i915/display/intel_backlight.c: In function 'scale':
include/linux/compiler_types.h:542:45: error:
	call to '__compiletime_assert_415' declared with attribute error:
	clamp() low limit source_min greater than high limit source_max

This happens if the compiler decides to rearrange the code as follows.

        if (source_min > source_max) {
                WARN(..);
                /* Do the clamp() knowing that source_min > source_max */
                source_val = clamp(source_val, source_min, source_max);
        } else {
                /* Do the clamp knowing that source_min <= source_max */
                source_val = clamp(source_val, source_min, source_max);
        }

Fix the problem by evaluating the return values from WARN_ON and returning
immediately after a warning. While at it, fix divide by zero error seen
if source_min == source_max.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
