From: Peter Delevoryas <pdel@fb.com>
UART5 is typically used as the default debug UART on the AST2600, but
UART1 is also designed to be a debug UART. All the AST2600 UART's have
semi-configurable clock rates through registers in the System Control
Unit (SCU), but only UART5 works out of the box with zero-initialized
values. The rest of the UART's expect a few of the registers to be
initialized to non-zero values, or else the clock rate calculation will
yield zero or undefined (due to a divide-by-zero).
For reference, the U-Boot clock rate driver here shows the calculation:
https://github.com/facebook/openbmc-uboot/blob/main/drivers/clk/aspeed/clk_ast2600.c#L357)
To summarize, UART5 allows selection from 4 rates: 24 MHz, 192 MHz, 24 /
13 MHz, and 192 / 13 MHz. The other UART's allow selecting either the
"low" rate (UARTCLK) or the "high" rate (HUARTCLK). UARTCLK and HUARTCLK
are configurable themselves:
UARTCLK = UXCLK * R / (N * 2)
HUARTCLK = HUXCLK * HR / (HN * 2)
UXCLK and HUXCLK are also configurable, and depend on the APLL and/or
HPLL clock rates, which also derive from complicated calculations. Long
story short, there's lots of multiplication and division from
configurable registers, and most of these registers are zero-initialized
in QEMU, which at best is unexpected and at worst causes this clock rate
driver to hang from divide-by-zero's. This can also be difficult to
diagnose, because it may cause U-Boot to hang before serial console
initialization completes, requiring intervention from gdb.
This change just initializes all of these registers with default values
from the datasheet.

Some parts have been already covered by the A3 emulation changes
provided by Joel. I will merge the UART registers only.
