    AMD SB800: don't switch clock from 14 to 48 MHz for smscsuperio
    
    The power up default for the 14M_25M_48M_OSC switchable clock output ball of
    the SB800 chipset is 14 MHz.  sb800/bootblock.c changes this to 48 MHz,
    which is the correct value for almost all SIOs.  However, not for
    'smscsuperio' (SMSC SCH311x), which needs the original 14 MHz and is not
    configurable for other clock speeds.  A wrong SIO clock supply results in
    funny RS232 output (wrong bit speed) and non-working PS/2.
    
    We could switch back to 14 MHz in the mainboard's romstage.c, but then the
    clock frequency would change twice.  The resulting short 48 MHz burst causes
    a handful of rubbish characters on RS232 on every boot until the SIO clock
    has stabilized again.
    
    This patch skips the SB800 clock switch if the SIO Kconfig requests 14 MHz.
    This does not affect any boards currently in the repository (yet).
