Subject: [PATCH v6 0/3] serial: 8250_dw: add fractional divisor support

For Synopsys DesignWare 8250 uart which version >= 4.00a, there's a
valid divisor latch fraction register. The fractional divisor width is
4bits ~ 6bits.

patch1 introduces necessary hooks to 8250 core.
patch2 exports serial8250_do_set_divisor()
patch3 implements the fractional divisor support for Synopsys DW 8250.

Since v5:
 - Add Andy's Reviewed-by tag to all patches.

Since v4:
 - use tmp to save baud * 16 rather than calculate every time in
   dw8250_get_divisor()

Since v3:
 - simplify the dw8250_get_divisor() implementation again.

Since v2:
 - rebase to tty-next branch, since I need one patch from Andy which
   is in tty-next
 - drop the patch "serial: 8250: let serial8250_get_divisor() get
   uart_port * as param" since it's in tty-next now.
 - add a new patch to export serial8250_do_set_divisor(), and reuse it
   to complete dw8250_set_divisor().
 - remove DW 8250 version check, since the DLF register always exists
   and if fractional divisor isn't supported, the register read as 0
 - add comments to explain how dw8250_get_divisor() get quot and frac.
 - the frac calcuation is simplified with well implemented GENMASK
 - Add Andy's Reviewed-by tag to patch1.

Since v1:
 - add an extra patch to let serial8250_get_divisor() get uart_port *
   as param
 - take Andy's suggestions to "integrates hooks in the same way like
   it's done for the rest of 8250 ones". Many thanks to Andy.

  serial: 8250: introduce get_divisor() and set_divisor() hook
  serial: 8250: export serial8250_do_set_divisor()
