[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1/2] hw/char/serial: Add a helper to set the divisor register

[Philippe Mathieu-Daudé]

Some chipsets provide 16650 compatible UART with exhanced
features. The BCM2835 provides a register to directly set
the baudrate divisor register without having to use the
LABD bit.

Add a helper to allow models to directly set the divisor.
