[PATCH v2] tty: serial: msm: Don't reconfigure same baud rate

From: Bjorn Andersson
Date: Thu Jun 16 2016 - 14:24:44 EST


msm_set_termios() is called whenever the tty is opened. Setting the baud
rate requires a full reset of the msm serial block, even when the rate
is unchanged. In the case when the same uart is used as console this
reset will discard any console output data still being clocked out of
the TX fifo.

By skipping the rate-change in the case where the baud rate is unchanged
since last request we can avoid the reset and the discarding of the
data.
