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.
