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.

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.
