serial: pl011: handle corruption at high clock speeds
This works around a few glitches in the ST version of the PL011 serial driver when using very high baud rates, as we do in the Ux500: 3, 3.25, 4 and 4.05 Mbps. Problem Observed/rootcause: When using high baud-rates, and the baudrate*8 is getting close to the provided clock frequency (so a division factor close to 1), when using bursts of characters (so they are abutted), then it seems as if there is not enough time to detect the beginning of the start-bit which is a timing reference for the entire character, and thus the sampling moment of character bits is moving towards the end of each bit, instead of the middle. Fix: Increase slightly the RX baud rate of the UART above the theoretical baudrate by 5%. This will definitely give more margin time to the UART_RX to correctly sample the data at the middle of the bit period. Also fix the ages old copy-paste error in the very stressed comment, it's referencing the registers used in the PL010 driver rather than the PL011 ones.
