Currently the Synopsys DesignWare 8250 driver assumes its UART clock
runs at a fixed rate.  If a "real" clock was set up using the common
clock framework, and that clock's rate is adjustable, it may be
possible to support a wider range of baud rates by changing the
UART clock rate.

This is done by setting up a uart_port->set_termios method that
requests a clock rate change if a different rate might make it
more likely to achieve a specified baud.  A new function
dw8250_adjustable_clk() determines whether such clock rate
adjustment is an option.

v2: Limit clock changing to specific compatible devices.

This no longer applies due to other changes in this driver.  Can you
please refresh it against my tty-next branch of the tty.git tree and
resend?

thanks,

Interesting.  Heikki seems to have generalized
byt_set_termios() into dw8250_set_termios(), such
that it's almost the same as what I did.

I think I can just reuse it and simplify my patch
considerably.  But I'll do that in the morning...
