It seems that no existing boards use this driver in the 66MHz mode.
So perhaps nobody has used it:)

Yes.  The existing dividers are correct for the 75MHz case, but are
all off by 5 or 10% for the 66MHz case.

I'm not testing on an ARM7/B2.  I'm testing on an ARM9 called Pollux
that has similar serial hardware.  My proposed change is meant to
groom the driver so it can work for S3C44B0 and Pollux targets (and
perhaps others).  I'll submit the patch for review shortly.

Ciao,
Brian
