Do you have all the other OF related defines in your u-boot config
file? 

#define OF_CPU                  "PowerPC,8540@0"
#define OF_SOC                  "soc8540@e0000000"
#define OF_TBCLK                (bd->bi_busfreq / 8)
#define OF_STDOUT_PATH          "/soc8540@e0000000/serial@4500"

Maybe you are not properly setting up entries in the flat device tree
passed to the kernel. So when the kernel takes over and re-initializes
the serial port the speed is all messed up.

Can you verify the flat device tree passed to the kernel is correct?
Specifically these properties:

                timebase-frequency = <0>;       // from bootloader
                bus-frequency = <0>;            // from bootloader
                clock-frequency = <0>;          // from bootloader
