I'm not sure if it is possible. Frequencies of "TBG-A-P", "TBG-B-P",
"TBG-A-S" and "TBG-B-S" clocks are set by firmware and frequency of
"xtal" by strapping pin. So they are not static constants. And also
kernel cannot change frequency of these clocks.

Driver reads frequencies of these clocks and choose the one which is the
most suitable for UART at runtime.

Yes, UART hardware.
