[PATCH v2 1/2] tty: serial: 8250_mtk: enable baud clock

Some MediaTek SoCs got a gated UART baud clock, which currently gets
disabled as the clk subsystem believes it would be unused. This results in
the uart freezing right after "clk: Disabling unused clocks" on those
platforms.

To fix this request the baud clock to be prepared and enabled during probe.
