If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From be40597a1bc173bf9dadccdf5388b956f620ae8f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christophe JAILLET <christophe.jaillet@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 12 May 2017 16:35:45 +0200 Subject: serial: efm32: Fix parity management in 'efm32_uart_console_get_options()' MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit From: Christophe JAILLET <christophe.jaillet@xxxxxxxxxx> commit be40597a1bc173bf9dadccdf5388b956f620ae8f upstream. UARTn_FRAME_PARITY_ODD is 0x0300 UARTn_FRAME_PARITY_EVEN is 0x0200 So if the UART is configured for EVEN parity, it would be reported as ODD. Fix it by correctly testing if the 2 bits are set.
