The expression htotal * vtotal can have a zero value on
overflow. It is necessary to prevent division by zero like in
fb_var_to_videomode().

I modified your patch like this:
..
- if (htotal && vtotal) {
- fbmode->refresh = vm->pixelclock / (htotal * vtotal);
+ total = htotal * vtotal;
+ if (total) {
+ fbmode->refresh = vm->pixelclock / total;

and added it to the fbdev git tree.
