The big difference is that the uart HW is not using an internal divider of 16 but 8, which results in an effictive baud-rate being twice the requested baud-rate. The bcm2835-aux-uart is also special in such that it is enabled/disabled by a gate in the clock, which is managed by the clk-bcm2835-aux clock driver. there are 2 options: * defining the clock-frequency property in the device tree to 500k instead of 250k, but this keeps the HW block disabled making the uart not work. * defining a clock in the device tree, but this results in a baud rate that is twice the requested baud-rate. To address this this patch-set introduce a new property in the device tree to define a clock divider other than 16. This currently just scales the clock by a factor of 16/divider. Note that the use of fixed-factor-clock has also been proposed as a workarround, but this does not really describe the hw in the device tree so another solution was needed that allows a correct representation of the HW in the device tree.
