[PATCH 1/2] serial: sifive: Report actual baud base rather than fixed 115200

The base baud value reported is supposed to be the highest baud rate 
that can be set for a serial port.  The SiFive FU740-C000 SOC's on-chip 
UART supports baud rates of up to 1/16 of the input clock rate, which is 
the bus clock `tlclk'[1], often at 130MHz in the case of the HiFive 
Unmatched board.

However the sifive UART driver reports a fixed value of 115200 instead:

10010000.serial: ttySIF0 at MMIO 0x10010000 (irq = 1, base_baud = 115200) is a SiFive UART v0
10011000.serial: ttySIF1 at MMIO 0x10011000 (irq = 2, base_baud = 115200) is a SiFive UART v0

even though we already support setting higher baud rates, e.g.:

$ tty
/dev/ttySIF1
$ stty speed
230400

The baud base value is computed by the serial core by dividing the UART 
clock recorded in `struct uart_port' by 16, which is also the minimum 
value of the clock divider supported, so correct the baud base value 
reported by setting the UART clock recorded to the input clock rate 
rather than 115200:

10010000.serial: ttySIF0 at MMIO 0x10010000 (irq = 1, base_baud = 8125000) is a SiFive UART v0
10011000.serial: ttySIF1 at MMIO 0x10011000 (irq = 2, base_baud = 8125000) is a SiFive UART v0
