Subject: [PATCH v3] ACPI: SPCR: Support Precise Baud Rate filed

From: Chen Pei <cp0613@...ux.alibaba.com>

The Microsoft Serial Port Console Redirection (SPCR) specification
revision 1.09 comprises additional field: Precise Baud Rate [1].

It is used to describe non-traditional baud rates (such as those
used by high-speed UARTs).

It contains a specific non-zero baud rate which overrides the value
of the Configured Baud Rate field. If this field is zero or not
present, Configured Baud Rate is used.
