while we are here ....
perhaps INT_MAX from kernel.h ?
int deviation = (1 << 30) - 1;
the part before looks a bit strange
if (ourport->info->has_divslot) {
unsigned long div = rate / req_baud;
/* The UDIVSLOT register on the newer UARTs allows us to
* get a divisor adjustment of 1/16th on the baud clock.
*
* We don't keep the UDIVSLOT value (the 16ths we
* calculated by not multiplying the baud by 16) as it
* is easy enough to recalculate.
*/
quot = div / 16;
baud = rate / div;
because
baud=rate/rate/req_baud = req_baud
can this be simplyfied ? (or is the numeric required ?)
Homebrew abs() kernel.h has a abs() can we use it here ?
if (calc_deviation < 0)
calc_deviation = -calc_deviation;
to the patch:
+ /*
+ * If we find a better clk, release the previous one, if
+ * any.
+ */
+ if (!IS_ERR(*best_clk))
+ clk_put(*best_clk);
the intentions are good. *best_clk is user supplied (and should be NULL)
filled & released in the next round but IMHO must be valid (is clk).
so no need to check. (ntl clk_put seems to handle NULL and ERR )
if (!clk || WARN_ON_ONCE(IS_ERR(clk)))
return;

Betreff: [PATCH 2/2] tty: serial: samsung_tty: Fix a memory leak in s3c24xx_serial_getclk() when iterating clk
When the best clk is searched, we iterate over all possible clk.
If we find a better match, the previous one, if any, needs to be freed.
If a better match has already been found, we still need to free the new
one, otherwise it leaks.
Fixes: 5f5a7a5578c5 ("serial: samsung: switch to clkdev based clock lookup")

This patch is speculative. Review with care.
I think that some clk_put() are also missing somewhere else in the driver
but won't be able to investigate further.
