given baud = 115200 and uartclk = 5414300 this results in:

	div = DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(5414300, 115200 * 2) = 23
	cd = 2
	fp = 7

which yields a rate of 5414300 / 46 = 117702.17. With cd = 3 and fp = 0
however the resulting rate is 5414300 / 48 = 112797.92.

Which one is better?

Is there another user of this header? If not, this can be folded into
the driver.
