commit 7c3d02285ad558691f27fde760bcd841baa27eab upstream.
While assumed not to make a difference, not using the factor-2 prescaler makes the receiver more susceptible to errors.
Specifically, there have been reports of problems with devices that cannot generate a 115200 rate with a smaller error than 2.1% (e.g. 117647 bps). But this can also be reproduced with a low-speed RS232 tranceiver at 115200 when the input rate matches the nominal rate.
So whenever possible, enable the factor-2 prescaler and halve the divisor in order to use settings closer to that of the previous algorithm.
