[RESEND PATCH v5 6/6] serial: mvebu-uart: implement support for baudrates higher than 230400

This change implements simple usage of fractional divisor. When main
divisor D is too large to represent requested baudrate then use divisor M
from fractional divisor feature. All the M prescalers are set to same and
maximal value 63, so fractional part is not used at all.

Tests showed that UART at 1500000 baudrate via this configuration is stable
and usable. So there is no need to implement complicated calculation of
fractional coefficients yet.

To use this feature with higher baudrates, it is required to use UART clock
provided by UART clock driver. Default boot xtal clock is not capable of
higher baudrates and this change also contains code for determining upper
limit of possible baudrate.

- * The baudrate is derived from the UART clock thanks to two divisors:

- * > M ("fractional divisor"): allows a better accuracy for
- * baudrates higher than 230400.
+ * The baudrate is derived from the UART clock thanks to divisors:
+ * > d1 * d2 ("TBG divisors"): can divide only TBG clock from 1 to 6
+ * > D ("baud generator"): can divide the clock from 1 to 1023
+ * > M ("fractional divisor"): allows a better accuracy (from 1 to 63)
*
- * As the derivation of M is rather complicated, the code sticks to its
- * default value (x16) when all the prescalers are zeroed, and only
- * makes use of D to configure the desired baudrate.
+ * Exact formulas for calculating baudrate:
+ *
+ * with default x16 scheme:
+ * baudrate = xtal / (d * 16)
+ * baudrate = tbg / (d1 * d2 * d * 16)
+ *
+ * with fractional divisor:
+ * baudrate = 10 * xtal / (d * (3 * (m1 + m2) + 2 * (m3 + m4)))
+ * baudrate = 10 * tbg / (d1*d2 * d * (3 * (m1 + m2) + 2 * (m3 + m4)))
+ *
+ * Oversampling value:
+ * osamp = (m1 << 0) | (m2 << 8) | (m3 << 16) | (m4 << 24);
+ *
+ * Where m1 controls number of clock cycles per bit for bits 1,2,3;
+ * m2 for bits 4,5,6; m3 for bits 7,8 and m4 for bits 9,10.
+ *
+ * To simplify baudrate setup set all the M prescalers to same value.
+ * For 9600 baudrate and higher it is enough to use just default (x16)
+ * divisor or fractional divisor with M = 63, so there is no need to
+ * use real fractional support (when the M prescalers are not equal).
+ *
+ * When all the M prescalers are zeroed then default (x16) divisor is
+ * used. Default x16 scheme is more stable than M (fractional divisor),
+ * so use M only when D divisor is not enough to derivate baudrate.
+ *
+ * Member port->uartclk is either xtal clock rate or TBG clock rate
+ * divided by (d1 * d2). So UART clock driver already sets d1 and d2
+ * divisors and UART driver cannot change them. Moreover they are
+ * shared with both UARTs.
