[PATCH 3/3][POWERPC][V2] Xilinx: boot support for Xilinx uart 16550.

Hi John,

I've a small question about ns16550 boot support.
I can't see any code related to either "clock-frequency" or "current-speed"
key words.
Such actions are performed in of_serial.c to get appropriate baud rate
(update of UART_DLL and UART_DLM).

Is it needed or is it a misunderstanding?
Personally, I have added this below debug code (dirty :)) to make it work.
