I missed one thing, what happened by default to OSR? What is the value in use?

It's a small one, we may have more interesting approach.
So, the algo is the following:
Assume the ranges like this:
OSR = [4 ... 32]
SBR = [2 ... 8192]
Then:
1. Get ratio factor as
ratio = CLK / desired baud rate
2. If ratio < 8192 * 9 / 2, just use (ratio / 4, 4) as (OSR, SBR)
setting. (Needs clarification on OSR < 4)
3. if ratio >= 8192 * 31, just use those two numbers (8192, 31). You
can't do anything better there.
4. Otherwise, get a minimum required factor of OSR
osr_min = ratio / 8192
5. Start your loop from osr_min + 1 to 31.
6 (optional). Of course you may not consider baud_diff > osr_min, it's
I suppose obvious
P.S. Note, all divisions by 2^n are just simple right shifts. Diffs
are calculated as multiplication of OSR and SBR in comparison to
ratio. One division so far.
