Updated the commit message with more details, see below too. Thanks for
the suggestion and review!

I am looking at version 3.50.2014.8 from 2019-03-04 of CH341S64.SYS, the
vendor driver. The function configuring registers 0x18 and 0x25 starts
at offset 0x119f0.

For chip versions 0x30 and above 0x25 is always set to 0. For versions
before 0x30 the values stored in register 0x25 depend on stop bit,
partity and word length settings.

Considering that the purpose is known (now) I've updated the comment.
I'm not going to attempt to implement the appropriate configuration for
the chip versions before 0x30.

Subject: [PATCH] USB: serial: ch341: Name prescaler, divisor registers

Add constants for the prescaler and divisor registers. Document and
name register 0x25, and put the LCR define to more use.

The 0x25 register (CH341_REG_LCR2) is only used by CH341 chips before
version 0x30 and is involved in configuring the line control parameters.
It's not known to the author whether there any such chips in the wild,
and Linux' ch341 driver never supported them. For chip version 0x30 and
above the 0x25 register is always set to zero. The alternative would've
been to not set the register at all, but that may have unintended
effects.
