Re: [PATCH] serial: 8250_dw: Avoid overflow in dw8250_set_termios

Dear Ed,

Thanks.

Tested-by: Nuno Goncalves <nunojpg@xxxxxxxxx>

I just would like to report a aditional issue I find, which I am not
sure if it is intend behaviour or not. If I set bauds 1152000,
1500000, 2000000, 2500000, 3000000, I always get a actually set baud
of 1500000, because it appears to be the closest baud by my hardware,
but if I set 3500000, then the port gets disabled.

This is because up to 3000000 the closest integer divider is 1, but
then it becomes 0, which is invalid.

If we still should return the closest baud, then we must return a
minimum of 1, and never 0, at uart_get_divisor, or
serial8250_get_divisor.

Thanks,
Nuno
