Original table in OMAP TRM named "UART Mode Baud Rates, Divisor
Values, and Error Rates" determines modes not for all common baud
rates. E.g. for 1000000 baud rate mode should be 16x, but according to
that table it's determined as 13x. According to current implementation
of mode divisor selection, after requesting 1000000 baudrate from
driver, later one will configure chip to use MODE13 divisor. Assuming
48Mhz as common UART clock speed, MODE13 divisor will effectively give
1230769 baudrate, what is quite far from desired 1000000 baudrate.
While with MODE16 divisor, chip will produce exact 1000000 baudrate.
In old driver that served UART devices (8250.c and serial_core.c) this
divisor could have been configured by user-space program, but in
omap_serial.c driver implementation this ability was not implemented
(afaik, by design) thus disallowing proper usage of MODE16-compatible
baudrates.
