Thanks for doing this.  My first question is, is this really per-board?
Or per SoC / UART chipset.  I would hope for example that for plain old
ns16550s this would be a generic function, perhaps with an optional
board call-out for board design limitations.  This does feel like a
reasonable amount of code for platforms like this that were supporting
what was the maximal rate table before.
