Subject[PATCH] tty/8250_early: Prevent rounding error in uartclk to baud ratio
Date
Modify divisor to select the nearest baud rate divider rather than the
lowest. It minimizes baud rate errors especially on low UART clock
frequencies.

For example, if uartclk is 33000000 and baud is 115200 the ratio is
about 17.9 The current code selects 17 (5% error) but should select 18
(0.5% error).

On the same lines as following:
