If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From dc3187564e61260f49eceb21a4e7eb5e4428e90a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Frans Klaver <frans.klaver@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 25 Sep 2014 11:19:51 +0200 Subject: tty: omap-serial: fix division by zero From: Frans Klaver <frans.klaver@xxxxxxxxx> commit dc3187564e61260f49eceb21a4e7eb5e4428e90a upstream. If the chosen baud rate is large enough (e.g. 3.5 megabaud), the calculated n values in serial_omap_is_baud_mode16() may become 0. This causes a division by zero when calculating the difference between calculated and desired baud rates. To prevent this, cap the n13 and n16 values on 1. Division by zero in kernel.
