The equation:

udiv = (clk + tmp / 2) / tmp

is the same as:

udiv = (clk / tmp) + 0.5

This is done because of rounding reasons and is OK! This works on at
least 20 PPC4xx boards under different CPU frequencies and baudrates
without problems.

Could you explain what excatly your problem is (with the current
equations)?
