From: James Hogan <james.hogan@xxxxxxxxxx> When the UART clock is set slightly under 1.8432MHz, the 8250 driver core doesn't permit the 115200 baud rate since it calculates the maximum frequency to pass to uart_get_baud_rate by simply dividing the uart clock by 16 which yields a value slightly under 115200, even though the frequency is close enough for the UART to operate reliably. Therefore add some tolerance in the calculation of the maximum baud rate. 1% tolerance allows for marginally slower uart clk than nominal without introducing transmission errors.
