I have read 4.00a spec a bit and didn't find this limitation.
The fractional divider can fit up to 32 bits.

Do we really need this? 

My intuition (I, unfortunately, didn't find any evidence in Synopsys
specs for UART) tells me that when it's unimplemented we would read back
0's, which is fine.

I would test this a bit later.

These bit fields (besides the fact you need 5) more or less for software
quirk flags. In your case I would rather keep a u32 value of DFL mask as
done for msr slightly above in this structure.

This comment kinda noise. Better to put actual formula from datasheet
how this fractional divider is involved into calculus.

If we have clock rate like 100MHz and 10 bits of fractional divider it
would give an integer overflow.

4 here is a magic. Needs to be commented / described better.

Operating on dfl_mask is simple as

u64 quot = p->uartclk * (p->dfl_mask + 1);

*frac = div64_u64(quot, baud * 16 * (p->dfl_mask + 1);
return quot;

(Perhaps some magic with types is needed, but you get the idea)

It should use the helper, not playing tricks with serial_port_out().

At some point it would be a helper, I think. We can call
serial8250_do_set_divisor() here. So, perhaps we might export it.

This should use some helpers. I'll prepare a patch soon and send it
here, you may include it in your series.

I think you need to clean up back them. So the flow like

1. Write all 1:s
2. Read back the value
3. Write all 0:s

Just save value itself as dfl_mask.
