This doesn't look right to me - neither the before code nor the after
code.

	newrate = baud * 16;

	clk_disable_unprepare(d->clk);
	rate = clk_round_rate(newrate);
	ret = clk_set_rate(d->clk, newrate);
	if (!ret)
		p->uartclk = rate;

	ret = elk_prepare_enable(d->clk);
	/* check ret for failure, means the clock is no longer running */

is all that should be necessary: note that clk_round_rate() is required
to return the rate that a successful call to clk_set_rate() would result
in for that clock.  It is equivalent to:

	ret = clk_set_rate(d->clk, newrate);
	if (ret == 0)
		p->uartclk = clk_get_rate(d->clk);

The other commonly misunderstood thing about the clk API is that the
rate you pass in to clk_round_rate() to discover the actual clock rate
and the value passed in to clk_set_rate() _should_ be the same value.
You should _not_ do clk_set_rate(clk, clk_round_rate(clk, newrate));
