[PATCH 0/3] Early 8250 fixlets

[Vineet Gupta]

Hi,

This series addresses some of the issues seen on early 8250 uart when
working with ARC SDP platform.

Thx,
-Vineet

[PATCH 1/3] serial: 8250_early: optimize early 8250 uart

[Vineet Gupta]

In early 8250, IER is already zero so no point in writing this - twice
per char.

This helped improve the SystemC model based ARC OSCI platform

[PATCH 2/3] serial: 8250_early: prepare for dynamic BASE_BAUD

[Vineet Gupta]

BASE_BAUD is pain in neck for multi-platform support as it hard codes at
build time the clk value for early uart.

Mitigate this by allowing arches/platforms to provide their own version
which can do dynamic setup based on DT values etc (see next patch for
usage)

This was needed for ARC SDP platforms based on 2 different FPGA flows, each
with a different UART clk value.
