From the UM:
"The UART0 Divisor Latch is part of the UART0 Baud Rate Generator 
and holds the value used to divide the VPB clock (pclk) in
order to produce the baud rate clock, which must be 16x the desired 
baud rate."
It's all right with your example, baud rate divisor set to 4, but 
you should not forget that this frequency has been divided by 16 to 
produce this baud rate: 14745600/4/16 = 230400.
So, the maximum baudrate cannot exceed pclk/16 anyway.
