That's true, but I don't see any reason why driver should disallow
usage of baud rates that are not supported, but possible by hardware:
"The UART clocks are connected to produce a baud rate of up to 3.6M bits/s."

I've changed calculation a bit to give priority to mode16, and now it
gives TRM table as-is + extra baud rates
300: divisor = 10000 (16), real rate 300 (0.000000%)
600: divisor = 5000 (16), real rate 600 (0.000000%)
1200: divisor = 2500 (16), real rate 1200 (0.000000%)
2400: divisor = 1250 (16), real rate 2400 (0.000000%)
4800: divisor = 625 (16), real rate 4800 (0.000000%)
9600: divisor = 312 (16), real rate 9615 (0.156250%)
14400: divisor = 208 (16), real rate 14423 (0.159722%)
19200: divisor = 156 (16), real rate 19230 (0.156250%)
28800: divisor = 104 (16), real rate 28846 (0.159722%)
38400: divisor = 78 (16), real rate 38461 (0.158854%)
57600: divisor = 52 (16), real rate 57692 (0.159722%)
115200: divisor = 26 (16), real rate 115384 (0.159722%)
230400: divisor = 13 (16), real rate 230769 (0.160156%)
460800: divisor = 8 (13), real rate 461538 (0.160156%)
921600: divisor = 4 (13), real rate 923076 (0.160156%)
1000000: divisor = 3 (16), real rate 1000000 (0.000000%)
1843200: divisor = 2 (13), real rate 1846153 (0.160211%)
3000000: divisor = 1 (16), real rate 3000000 (0.000000%)
3686400: divisor = 1 (13), real rate 3692307 (0.160238%)

If that's acceptable behavior, I'll prepare a patch.

Thanks,
Alexey
