This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
Revert "serial: 8250: Fix reporting real baudrate value in c_ospeed
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-next 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 also be merged in the next major kernel release
during the merge window.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

This reverts commit 32262e2e429cdb31f9e957e997d53458762931b7.
The commit in question claims to determine the inverse of
serial8250_get_divisor() but failed to notice that some drivers override
the default implementation using a get_divisor() callback.
This means that the computed line-speed values can be completely wrong
and results in regular TCSETS requests failing (the incorrect values
would also be passed to any overridden set_divisor() callback).
Similarly, it also failed to honour the old (deprecated) ASYNC_SPD_FLAGS
and would break applications relying on those when re-encoding the
actual line speed.
There are also at least two quirks, UART_BUG_QUOT and an OMAP1510
workaround, which were happily ignored and that are now broken.
Finally, even if the offending commit were to be implemented correctly,
this is a new feature and not something which should be backported to
stable.
