Subject: [PATCH 4.14 162/173] earlycon: Remove hardcoded port->uartclk initialization in of_setup_earlycon

4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Michal Simek <michal.simek@...inx.com>

commit 182ead3e418a20328b73152b8e81fc8b4cac3b0b upstream.

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

[-stable comment: commit 31cb9a8575ca ("earlycon: initialise baud field
 of earlycon device structure") has changed 8250_early.c behavior which
 now tries to setup UART speed.
 Already-backported upstream commit 0ff3ab701963 ("serial:  8250_early:
 Only set divisor if valid clk & baud") handles properly uartclk not
 being set but it still requires backporting fix for wrong uartclk val.
 This fixes malformed early console output on arch-es with BASE_BAUD.]
