    tty: serial: msm: Support more bauds · 98952bf5
    Stephen Boyd authored
    The msm_find_best_baud() function is written with the assumption
    that the port->uartclk rate is fixed to a particular rate at boot
    time, but now this driver changes that clk rate at runtime when
    the baud is changed.
    
    The way the hardware works is that an input clk rate comes from
    the clk controller into the uart hw block. That rate is typically
    1843200 or 3686400 Hz. That rate can then be divided by an
    internal divider in the hw block to achieve a particular baud on
    the serial wire. msm_find_best_baud() is looking for that divider
    value.
    
    A few things are wrong with the way the code is written. First,
    it assumes that the maximum baud that the uart can support if the
    clk rate is fixed at boot is 460800, which would correspond to an
    input clk rate of 230400 * 16 == 3686400 Hz.  Except some devices
    have a boot rate of 1843200 Hz or max baud of 115200, so
    achieving 230400 on those devices doesn't work at all because we
    don't increase the clk rate unless max baud is 460800.
    
    Second, we can't achieve bauds higher than 460800 that require
    anything besides a divisor of 1, because we always call
    msm_find_best_baud() with a fixed port->uartclk rate that will
    eventually be changed after we calculate the divisor. So if we
    need to get a baud of 500000, we'll just multiply that by 16 and
    hope that the clk can give us 500000 * 16 == 8000000 Hz, which it
    typically can't do. To really achieve 500000 baud, we need to get
    an input clk rate of 24000000 Hz and then divide that by 3 inside
    the uart hardware.
    
    Finally, we return success for bauds even when we can't actually
    achieve them. This means that when the user asks for 500000 baud,
    we actually get 921600 right now, but the user doesn't know that.
    
    Fix all of this by searching through the divisor and clk rate
    space with a combination of clk_round_rate() and baud
    calculations, keeping track of the best clk rate and divisor we
    find if we can't get an exact match. Typically we can get an
    exact match with a divisor of 1, but sometimes we need to keep
    track and try more frequencies. On my msm8916 device, this
    results in all standard bauds in baud_table being supported
    except for 1800, 576000, 1152000, and 4000000.
