[U-Boot] [PATCH V2] AT91: Small fix on AT91 USART initialization code

You still have not addressed my concern about a possible hang situation here!
I rather have _some_ weird characters than an apparently dead board...
When do we have the possibility of weird characters anyway?
Only if a preloader makes output and transfers to u-boot before its output
has been flushed. Any other situations?

Best Regards,
Reinhard
