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/15f7e0dc01d8/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.
To test this, I used Facebook's AST2600 OpenBMC image for "fuji", with
the following diff applied (because fuji uses UART1 for console output,
not UART5).

Without these clock rate registers being initialized, U-Boot hangs in
the clock rate driver from a divide-by-zero, because the UART1 clock
rate register reads return zero, and there's no console output. After
initializing them with default values, fuji boots successfully.
