PATCH 1/1 ColdFire: Fix UART baudrate formula

From: TsiChung Liew <[email protected]>

Replace counter = bus_clk / (baudrate * 32) with counter = ((bus_clk / 32) + (baudrate /2 )) / baudrate formula

I assume it works. :-)

Your comment is a duplicate of the code. A better comment would tell the reader *why* you made the change. Suggestion...

The formula "counter = (u32) (gd->bus_clk / (gd->baudrate)) / 32" can generate the wrong divisor due to integer division truncation. Round the calculated divisor value by adding 1/2 the baudrate before dividing by the baudrate.
