[PATCH 4.19 021/206] serial: 8250: Fix max baud limit in generic 8250 port

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

[ Upstream commit 7b668c064ec33f3d687c3a413d05e355172e6c92 ]

Standard 8250 UART ports are designed in a way so they can communicate
with baud rates up to 1/16 of a reference frequency. It's expected from
most of the currently supported UART controllers. That's why the former
version of serial8250_get_baud_rate() method called uart_get_baud_rate()
with min and max baud rates passed as (port->uartclk / 16 / UART_DIV_MAX)
and ((port->uartclk + tolerance) / 16) respectively. Doing otherwise, like
it was suggested in commit ("serial: 8250_mtk: support big baud rate."),
caused acceptance of bauds, which was higher than the normal UART
controllers actually supported. As a result if some user-space program
requested to set a baud greater than (uartclk / 16) it would have been
permitted without truncation, but then serial8250_get_divisor(baud)
(which calls uart_get_divisor() to get the reference clock divisor) would
have returned a zero divisor. Setting zero divisor will cause an
unpredictable effect varying from chip to chip. In case of DW APB UART the
communications just stop.

Lets fix this problem by getting back the limitation of (uartclk +
tolerance) / 16 maximum baud supported by the generic 8250 port. Mediatek
8250 UART ports driver developer shouldn't have touched it in the first
place  notably seeing he already provided a custom version of set_termios()
callback in that glue-driver which took into account the extended baud
rate values and accordingly updated the standard and vendor-specific
divisor latch registers anyway.
