Subject[PATCH 1/2] x86/Kconfig: Add config for specifying BASE_BAUD
Date
Not all x86 CPUs have UARTs that use a baud reference clock (BASE_BAUD) of
115200 = 1843200 / 16. For example, the UARTs on AMD Carrizo and later
use a fixed input clock of 48000000, and hence require BASE_BAUD=3000000.

The BASE_BAUD value is used by the generic earlycon driver to compute the
UART clock used early in boot before the real serial drivers have a
chance to load and read their input clock configuration from ACPI.

Add a Kconfig option to override this default hard coded value.
