[PATCH 1/2] serial: 8250: Tolerate clock variance for max baud rate

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: James Hogan <james.hogan@xxxxxxxxxx>

When the UART clock is set slightly under 1.8432MHz, the 8250 driver
core doesn't permit the 115200 baud rate since it calculates the maximum
frequency to pass to uart_get_baud_rate by simply dividing the uart
clock by 16 which yields a value slightly under 115200, even though the
frequency is close enough for the UART to operate reliably.

Therefore add some tolerance in the calculation of the maximum baud
rate. 1% tolerance allows for marginally slower uart clk than nominal
without introducing transmission errors.
