Hi,

Sorry, please ignore this patch.

I've realised that a larger (e.g. non-divided) source clock can just be
provided directly to the uart and it appears to have enough of an
internal divider for the driver to do the right thing without changing
the input clock rate, although of course that clock rate still needs
setting somewhere. I'm not sure why we didn't do this all along as it
gives a closer frequency anyway.

Thanks
James
