Subject: [PATCH 1/3] tty: omap-serial: prevent division by zero

If the chosen baud rate is large enough (e.g. 3.5 megabaud), the
calculated n13 and n16 values in serial_omap_baud_is_mode16 may become
0. This causes a division by zero when calculating the difference
between calculated and desired baud rates. To prevent this, cap n13 and
n16 on 1.
