Hi!

commit d02b006b29de14968ba4afa998bede0d55469e29 upstream.

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.

I believe it would be better to remove bad commit and its revert,
since it was not yet released.

No - this way we can track the story of the commit. If someone shows up
a year from now and asks why this certain patch isn't in -stable it's
much easier to answer that (and not to queue it up by mistake).
