Commiter only. I am only carrying the driver across kernel version,
fixing merge conflicts, testing the driver, and now up-streaming it.

Will only keep linux/of_platform.h for of_device_id struct.

My understanding is that this is not a hack, for 38400 we need to pass
as custom baud. What is the alternative here?
I see other drivers are doing this as well, will look into this further
but not sure if there is a better solution for this.

core driver does this differently so we cant use that.
