Subject: [PATCH 2/5] serial: 8250: Actually allow UPF_MAGIC_MULTIPLIER baud
 rates

Support for magic baud rate divisors of 32770 and 32769 used with SMSC 
Super I/O chips for extra baud rates of 230400 and 460800 respectively 
where base rate is 115200[1] has been added around Linux 2.5.64, which 
predates our repo history, but the origin could be identified as commit 
2a717aad772f ("Merge with Linux 2.5.64.") with the old MIPS/Linux repo 
also at: <git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ralf/linux.git>.

Code that is now in `serial8250_do_get_divisor' was added back then to 
`serial8250_get_divisor', but that code would only ever trigger if one 
of the higher baud rates was actually requested, and that cannot ever 
happen, because the earlier call to `serial8250_get_baud_rate' never 
returns them.  This is because it calls `uart_get_baud_rate' with the 
maximum requested being the base rate, that is clk/16 or 115200 for SMSC 
chips at their nominal clock rate.

Fix it then and allow UPF_MAGIC_MULTIPLIER baud rates to be selected, by 
requesting the maximum baud rate of clk/4 rather than clk/16 if the flag 
has been set.  Also correct the minimum baud rate, observing that these 
ports only support actual (non-magic) divisors of up to 32767 only.
