Hi Johan,

Thanks for your review.

I'm not sure to get your point here, shall I rename moxa firmwares in linux-firmware repo
to be compliant with ti_usb-v%04x-p%04x.fw format ?

Well, on my moxa 1110 communication is working at 9600, 115200 and other baud rates.
However, I think baud rate calculation may be wrong for TI3410 chips.

According to table 5-13 in datasheet http://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/tusb3410.pdf
the baud rate calculation formula, is :

baud_rate = 923077 / (desired_baud_rate)

So, we get :

desired_baud = 9600 -> baud_rate = 923077 / 9600 = 96
desired_baud = 115200 -> baud_rate = 923077 / 115200 = 8
...

In ti_usb_3410_5052 driver, the formula used for 3410 is :

baud_rate = (923077 + desired_baud_rate/2) / desired_baud_rate

so,

desired_baud = 9600 -> baud_rate = (923077 + 9600/2) / 9600 = 97 (!= 96)
desired_baud = 115200 -> baud_rate = (923077 + 115200/2) / 115200 = 9 (!= 8)

It seems the formula is wrong but some firmware deal with it anyway.
Should I correct the formula or use a quirk for moxa devices ?

Thank you,

Mathieu
