Subject: [PATCH 3.16 018/217] 8250: use callbacks to access UART_DLL/UART_DLM

3.16.35-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Sebastian Frias <sf84@...oste.net>

commit 0b41ce991052022c030fd868e03877700220b090 upstream.

Some UART HW has a single register combining UART_DLL/UART_DLM
(this was probably forgotten in the change that introduced the
callbacks, commit b32b19b8ffc05cbd3bf91c65e205f6a912ca15d9)

Fixes: b32b19b8ffc0 ("[SERIAL] 8250: set divisor register correctly ...")
