Ok, I see what gcc is doing.
clk_khz = clk_get_rate(i2c->scb_clk) / 1000; ... inc = (256 * 16 * bitrate_khz) / clk_khz;
Because CONFIG_HAVE_CLK isn't set, clk_get_rate() returns 0, which means clk_khz is always zero, so the last statement *always* results in a divide-by-zero. So that looks like a bug in the code.
However, I'm baffled by how gcc handles it. Instead of:
a) reporting a compile-time warning/error; or
b) letting the #DE (divide error) exception happen;
it inserts a 'ud2', resulting in a #UD (invalid opcode). Why?!?
