  Some platforms, namely AMD Picasso, use non standard uart clocks (48M),
witch makes it impossible to use with earlycon.

Let the user select its own frequency.

IMO this won't work if there is a comma in options (i.e. your new 
clkrate param). kstrtouint will return -EINVAL in that case.

You are giving ",number" to kstrtouint, right? That won't work either ;).

The fun thing is that it worked because it fell back to the acpi
parameters :). Will send a v3

Thanks!
