Hi,

Why is calculating during write bad/wrong, you don't give any real
justification for this change? You're talking about "low rates" in cover
letter, which makes it even more confusing because writes occur very
infrequently so a few math operations are nothing to be concerned of (in
timescales UARTs operate in, no math penalty is really worth even
discussing IMO).
