commit 748c5ea8b8796ae8ee80b8d3a3d940570b588d59 upstream.

Preserve the original value of the Divisor Latch Fraction (DLF) register.
When the DLF register is modified without preservation, it can disrupt
the baudrate settings established by firmware or bootloader, leading to
data corruption and the generation of unreadable or distorted characters.
