From: Martin Sperl <kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
The bcm2835 SOC has an auxiliary uart that is compatible to ns16550.
the only difference is that it has an internal clock divider of 8
instead of 16.
The net result is that the baud-rate is twice the baud-rate requested.
This patch allows to configure an alternate clock-divider in the
device-tree, which then scales the clock coming from the clock
framework to get scaled by 16/divider.
