Oxford Semiconductor PCIe (Tornado) 950 serial port devices are driven by a fixed 62.5MHz clock input derived from the 100MHz PCI Express clock. We currently drive the device using its default oversampling rate of 16 and the clock prescaler disabled, consequently yielding the baud base of 3906250. This base is inadequate for some of the high-speed baud rates such as 460800bps, for which the closest rate possible can be obtained by dividing the baud base by 8, yielding the baud rate of 488281.25bps, which is off by 5.9638%. This is enough for data communication to break with the remote end talking actual 460800bps, where missed stop bits have been observed. We can do better however, by taking advantage of a reduced oversampling rate, which can be set to any integer value from 4 to 16 inclusive by programming the TCR register, and by using the clock prescaler, which can be set to any value from 1 to 63.875 in increments of 0.125 in the CPR/CPR2 register pair. The prescaler has to be explicitly enabled though by setting bit 7 in the MCR or otherwise it is bypassed (in the enhanced mode that we enable) as if the value of 1 was used. Make use of these features then as follows: - Set the baud base to 15625000, reflecting the minimum oversampling rate of 4 with the clock prescaler and divisor both set to 1. - Override the `set_mctrl' and set the MCR shadow there so as to have MCR[7] always set and have the 8250 core propagate these settings. - Override the `get_divisor' handler and determine a good combination of parameters by using a lookup table with predetermined value pairs of the oversampling rate and the clock prescaler and finding a pair that divides the input clock such that the quotient, when rounded to the nearest integer, deviates the least from the exact result. Calculate the clock divisor accordingly. Scale the resulting oversampling rate (only by powers of two) if possible so as to maximise it, reducing the divisor accordingly, and avoid a divisor overflow for very low baud rates by scaling the oversampling rate and/or the prescaler even if that causes some accuracy loss. Also handle the historic spd_cust feature so as to allow one to set all the three parameters manually to arbitrary values, by keeping the low 16 bits for the divisor and then putting TCR in bits 19:16 and CPR/CPR2 in bits 28:20, sanitising the bit pattern supplied such as to clamp CPR/CPR2 values between 0.000 and 0.875 inclusive to 33.875. This preserves compatibility with any existing setups, that is where requesting a custom divisor that only has any bits set among the low 16 the oversampling rate of 16 and the clock prescaler of 33.875 will be used as with the original 8250. Finally abuse the `frac' argument to store the determined bit patterns for the TCR, CPR and CPR2 registers. - Override the `set_divisor' handler so as to set the TCR, CPR and CPR2 registers from the `frac' value supplied. Set the divisor as usual. With the baud base set to 15625000 and the unsigned 16-bit UART_DIV_MAX limitation imposed by `serial8250_get_baud_rate' standard baud rates below 300bps become unavailable in the regular way, e.g. the rate of 200bps requires the baud base to be divided by 78125 and that is beyond the unsigned 16-bit range. The historic spd_cust feature can still be used to obtain such rates if so required. See Documentation/tty/device_drivers/oxsemi-tornado.rst for more details. Signed-off-by: Maciej W.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
