From: Prasad J Pandit 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.
