Subject: [PATCH] earlycon: Remove hardcoded port->uartclk initialization in of_setup_earlycon

There is no reason to initialize uartclk to BASE_BAUD * 16 for DT based
systems.

It looks like from history that portclk = BASE_BAUD * 16 was setup to
get on calculation on x86 (divisor = 1) but it shouldn't be needed on DT based
system. That's why I think that there is no DT based system which really
requires this line.
