Subject[PATCH] serial: 8250_dw: support high baudrates if possible
Date
Currently the Synopsys DesignWare 8250 driver assumes its UART clock
runs at a fixed rate. If a "real" clock was set up using the common
clock framework, and that clock's rate is adjustable, it may be
possible to support a wider range of baud rates by changing the
UART clock rate.

This is done by setting up a uart_port->set_termios method that
requests a clock rate change if a different rate might make it
more likely to achieve a specified baud.
