The new optimized do_div implementation (now in asm-generic/next) exposes a

The driver just divides two plain integer values, so it should not
use do_div to start with, but has apparently done so ever since the
code was first merged. This replaces do_div with a simple division
operator.

I think this one is harmless, so we only need it in 4.5 to avoid the warning,
but not backported to earlier kernels.

Found today on ARM allmodconfig

Thanks Arnd.

Looks sspa_div is not used at all.
So we can remove sspa_div as well as do_div.

What do you think.

Thanks
