Split Pericom driver to a separate module.
While at it, re-enable high baud rates.

Jay, can you, please, test this on as many hardware as you have?

The series depends on the fix-series: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-serial/20211117145502.43645-1-andriy.shevchenko@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/T/#u

I have my current state here: https://github.com/accesio/linux/blob/split-pericom-driver/drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_pericom.c

* Change port type to UPIO_PORT
* Add in pericom_do_startup() because the UPF_MAGIC_MULTIPLIER doesn't
stick.

Thanks, I have updated my local tree with these changes.

When I'm testing baud rates greater than baud_base I'm seeing strange things
on the scope.

Can you confirm that there are no issues with the first (fixes) series?
Yes. The fixes series has no issues, and was tested up to baud_base for both 14 and 24 MHz crystals.
I have slightly changed your set_divisor() refactoring, it may be that issue
is there.

Maybe I'm just tired, and it's human error. I should be able
to get back to it and get it done on Saturday.

Thank you.


Latest code is still here https://github.com/accesio/linux/blob/split-pericom-driver/drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_pericom.c

Changes from last update:
* Avoid divide by zero when initializing delta

I retested and verified on the scope that speeds are now being set correctly.

I have also confirmed that all of the ACCES four port cards in the driver do have the offset fourth port. The item I raised about PCI was a misunderstanding that was all on my end.

Are there any other action items I should be handling?

Thank you for your work so far.
