We ought to be able to deduce the minimum baud rate from the divisor
being bigger than the chip supports - or do some of these devices not
support the full hw divisor range of the real chip which is what I assume
from your patch ?

We have far too many magic ifdef routines for this sort of stuff already.
Is there any reason we can't put info on the true divisor or at least the
baud rate range into the uart_8250_port structure so that we get rid of
all of

in favour of

		uart_get_baud_rate(port, termios, old, port->uartclk / 16,
				port->uartclk / 16 / port->uartdivider)
