Subject: [PATCH 3.2 60/95] serial: mxs-auart: Fix baudrate calculation

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

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

From: Uwe Kleine-König <u.kleine-koenig@...gutronix.de>

commit a6040bc610554c66088fda3608ae5d6307c548e4 upstream.

The reference manual for the i.MX28 recommends to calculate the divisor
as

	divisor = (UARTCLK * 32) / baud rate, rounded to the nearest integer

, so let's do this. For a typical setup of UARTCLK = 24 MHz and baud
rate = 115200 this changes the divisor from 6666 to 6667 and so the
actual baud rate improves from 115211.521 Bd (error ≅ 0.01 %) to
115194.240 Bd (error ≅ 0.005 %).
