One last thing that we could try. If the rclk for the
upper 6 ports is wrong, then the baudrate will not be
as programmed. For all ports we now have an rclk that's
8 times the default (i.e. RCLK*8). See if the baudrate
is 8 times slower than what you specified.

i.e. If you specified a baudrate of 115200, see if you
need to program the other side for 14400. You may want
to pick a baudrate that's yields a more standard rate
when divided by 8.

If this works, then the upper 6 port have a standard
RCLK.

More tricky, but worth to try is RCLK*10. Since we
calculate based on RCLK*8, the baudrate will be 10/8
of what you expect. Specify a baudrate of 92160 to
get 115200 (pick numbers that'll work).
