[PATCH v2] earlycon: Allow specifying a uartclk in options

From: Daniel Kurtz
Date: Thu Mar 01 2018 - 13:43:50 EST


Currently when an earlycon is registered, the uartclk is assumed to be
BASE_BAUD * 16 = 1843200. If a baud rate is specified in the earlycon
options, then 8250_early's init_port will program the UART clock divider
registers based on this assumed uartclk.

However, not all uarts have a UART clock of 1843200. For example, the
8250_dw uart in AMD's CZ/ST uses a fixed 48 MHz clock (as specified in
cz_uart_desc in acpi_apd.c). Thus, specifying a baud when using earlycon
on such a device will result in incorrect divider values and a wrong UART
clock.

Fix this by extending the earlycon options parameter to allow specification
of a uartclk, like so:

earlycon=uart,mmio32,0xfedc6000,115200,48000000

If none is specified, fall-back to prior behavior - 1843200.
