Hi Andy Shevchenko,

Thanks for reviewing the patch. Please find my comments inline.

Thanks. Will address the change in the next patch revision.

Will remove it in the next patch revision.

The current UART clk in MCHP Ports in pci1xxxx.c is set to 62.5 MHz in
order to support fractional baud rates which enables generation of
acceptable baud rate and lower error percentage from any available
frequency. With 62.5 MHz the maximum supported baud rate supported as
per serial_8250_get_baud_rate is 3.9 Mbps. In order to extend the
support to 4 Mbps we had hardcoded the max value to 4 Mbps. Since, baud
rate is calculated here we needed to make these changes in 8250_port
and could not find a way to handle as part 8250_pci1xxxx. Can you let
us know any alternatives to address this upper(max) limit?
