Subject: [PATCH v2 1/1] serial: 8250: Preserve original value of DLF register

This commit is aimed at preserving the original value of the
DLF(Divisor Latch Fraction Register). When the DLF register is
modified without preservation, it can disrupt the baudrate settings
established by firmware or bootloader , leading to data corruption
and the generation of unreadable or distorted characters.

Fixes: 701c5e73b296 ("serial: 8250_dw: add fractional divisor support")
