[PATCH v6 0/3] serial: 8250_dw: add fractional divisor support

From: Jisheng Zhang
Date: Wed Jul 11 2018 - 21:57:20 EST


For Synopsys DesignWare 8250 uart which version >= 4.00a, there's a
valid divisor latch fraction register. The fractional divisor width is
4bits ~ 6bits.

patch1 introduces necessary hooks to 8250 core.
patch2 exports serial8250_do_set_divisor()
patch3 implements the fractional divisor support for Synopsys DW 8250.

Since v5:
- Add Andy's Reviewed-by tag to all patches.

Since v4:
- use tmp to save baud * 16 rather than calculate every time in
dw8250_get_divisor()

Since v3:
- simplify the dw8250_get_divisor() implementation again.

Since v2:
- rebase to tty-next branch, since I need one patch from Andy which
is in tty-next
- drop the patch "serial: 8250: let serial8250_get_divisor() get
uart_port * as param" since it's in tty-next now.
- add a new patch to export serial8250_do_set_divisor(), and reuse it
to complete dw8250_set_divisor().
- remove DW 8250 version check, since the DLF register always exists
and if fractional divisor isn't supported, the register read as 0
- add comments to explain how dw8250_get_divisor() get quot and frac.
- the frac calcuation is simplified with well implemented GENMASK
- Add Andy's Reviewed-by tag to patch1.

Since v1:
- add an extra patch to let serial8250_get_divisor() get uart_port *
as param
- take Andy's suggestions to "integrates hooks in the same way like
it's done for the rest of 8250 ones". Many thanks to Andy.
