Unfortunately, the miniUART is in the same clock tree than the core
clock and will thus have those kind of issues when the core clock is
changed (which is also something that one should expect when using the
DRM or other drivers).

The only real workaround there would be to switch to one of the PL011
UARTs. I guess we can also somehow make the UART react to the core clock
frequency changes, but that's going to require some effort
