The baudrates in my table are from our legacy UART IP and these baudrates can be
generated by the hardware by updating UART_DLL & UART_DLM alone as done by the
serial8250_do_set_termios.
I noticed that some of the baud rates in tty_baudrate.c arenot listed in this table
but will still be handled by the mchp_pci1xxxx_set_termios.
I can rename standard_baud_list to simply baud_list. Please let me know.

Thank You.
