SiFive's UART has a software controller clock divider that produces the final baud rate clock. Whenever the clock that drives the UART is changed this divider must be updated accordingly, and given that these two events are controlled by software they cannot be done atomically. During the period between updating the UART's driving clock and internal divider the UART will transmit a different baud rate than what the user has configured, which will probably result in a corrupted transmission stream. The SiFive UART has a FIFO, but due to an issue with the programming interface there is no way to directly determine when the UART has finished transmitting. We're essentially restricted to dead reckoning in order to figure that out: we can use the FIFO's TX busy register to figure out when the last frame has begun transmission and just delay for a long enough that the last frame is guaranteed to get out. As far as the actual implementation goes: I've modified the existing existing clock notifier function to drain both the FIFO and the shift register in on PRE_RATE_CHANGE. As far as I know there is no hardware flow control in this UART, so there's no good way to ask the other end to stop transmission while we can't receive (inserting software flow control messages seems like a bad idea here).
