I agree with your "making the code simple" concern. So I have a consideration
again. I think I made the code complex unnecessarily, the simplest get_divisor code
could be:

get_divisor()
{
unsigned int quot, rem;

quot = clk / (16 * baud);
rem = clk % (16 *baud);
*frac = DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(rem << dlf_size, 16*baud);

return quot;
}

Compared with previous version, this one adds one more div instruction,
but remove several "shift, and" instructions, the performance isn't that bad.
From another side, even this version gets a trivial performance regression,
the get_divisor() doesn't sit on the hot code path. Making the code simpler is
more important.

I will send a new version.

Thanks
