Subject: [PATCH] char: serial: check divider value against baud base

16550A UART device uses an oscillator to generate frequencies
(baud base), which decide communication speed. This speed could
be changed by dividing it by a divider. If the divider is
greater than the baud base, speed is set to zero, leading to a
divide by zero error. Add check to avoid it.
