I tried not to clash with Ilpo's review (all he said is still applicable here).

20 * HZ_PER_MHZ

(should include units.h)

The (reversed) array of integers should suffice.

static const unsigned int airoha_clk_divs[] = { 2, 4, 10 };

See below for more.

Not used outside of the loop, define it there.

The above three calls repeat serial8250_do_set_divisor(), don't they?

	/* Set baud rate calculation defaults (BRDIV ([BRDH,BRDL]) to 1) */
	serial8250_do_set_divisor(port, baud, 1);

	for (unsigned int i = ARRAY_SIZE(airoha_clk_div_info) - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
		xindiv_clk = XINDIV_CLOCK / BIT(i);

Also variant (but may be a little bit confusing)

	for (unsigned int i = ARRAY_SIZE(airoha_clk_div_info); i; i--) {
		xindiv_clk = XINDIV_CLOCK / BIT(i - 1);

Hmm... do you really need this? It doesn't seem required (at least for many
other 8250 compatible devices).

I'm not sure about 'validate' as only one or two drivers use it. Just double
check that this is indeed what you want (read the kernel-doc for that function
carefully, it's not that trivial, unfortunately).

No comma in the terminator.

Drop this redundant blank line.
