The UART driver is amba-pl011. Original fix, see below Github link,
was inside pl011 module, but somehow it didn't look as the right
place either. Beside that this rounding function is not exactly
perfect for all possible clock values. So I deiced to move the hack
to the platform which actually need it.

I found the issue because it was reported that RPi3[1] and RPi Zero 2W
boards have issues with the Bluetooth. So it turns out that when
switching from initial to operation speed host and device no longer
can talk each other because host uses incorrect baud rate.
I open to better solution of the issue.
