This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
serial: 8250_dw: Revert "Improve clock rate setting"
to my tty git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty.git
in the tty-testing branch.
The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree
(usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)
The patch will be merged to the tty-next branch sometime soon,
after it passes testing, and the merge window is open.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: serial: 8250_dw: Revert "Improve clock rate setting"
The commit
de9e33bdfa22 ("serial: 8250_dw: Improve clock rate setting")
obviously tries to cure symptoms, and not a root cause.
The root cause is the non-flexible rate calculation inside the
corresponding clock driver. What we need is to provide maximum UART
divisor value to the clock driver to allow it do the job transparently
to the caller.
Since from the initial commit message I have got no clue which clock
driver actually needs to be amended, I leave this exercise to the people
who know better the case.
Moreover, it seems [1] the fix introduced a regression. And possible
even one more [2].
Taking above, revert the commit de9e33bdfa22 for now.
