Please break your lines at 72 cols or so, and use the common subject
prefix (e.g. "USB: serial: ftdi_sio: improve...") with a concise
summary.

How did you verify this? Did you trace and compare the divisors
actually requested by the Windows driver, or did you measure the
resulting rates using a scope?

Thanks,
Johan
