To ensure that the bootloader and kernel match, it's best to place the
rate in the stdout-path property (as in
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/chosen.txt).
Presumably that is what you want?
Is it difficutl to add clock programming?

There are no external clock inputs?

Does the the mvebu UART vary between platforms at all?
