With this change, the serial console will work, but only after the
device is initialized. We get garbage out of the early serial console
(as it still uses the 115200 as the BASE_BAUD and the firmware in my
case has set this to 64000000/16):

xĀx�x��x�x��xx�x��xxx�xxx�x��x�x�xxxx���xxx�x�x��x�x�x�����x��xx���x�x�x�xx�x��x�x6
ahci 0000:03:06.0: AHCI 0001.0100 32 slots 2 ports 3 Gbps 0x3 impl SATA mode
ahci 0000:03:06.0: flags: ncq sntf pm led clo only pmp pio slum part ccc
scsi0 : ahci
scsi1 : ahci
...

Perhaps a reasonable solution would be to add a KCONFIG option for the
early_console BASE_BAUD. I prefer the fixed 192MHz solution here to
special casing every EG20T PCH board.

I'll prepare and test a patch for early_serial_console BASE_BAUD.

Please resend these patches with my clock_param changes removed as they
shouldn't be necessary now that we set all boards to 192MHz.
