Hi Kevin,
First of all,thank you very much for your reply.Due to the Chinese Spring Festival holiday recently, so i just reply to you now。

Hello,

Using the common Clock code to describe the UART baud rate
clock makes it easier for the UART driver to be compatible
with the baud rate requirements of the UART IP on different
meson chips. Add Meson S4 SoC compatible.

Could you describe how this was tested and on which SoCs? There seem to
be some changes in this series that might affect previous SoCs.

For me, the board starts normally and prints. My intention was to add
the S4 SOC UART compatible, but for the S4 our baud rate clock is
calculated at 12MHz by default.So a series of changes were made at your
suggestion.

Since most SoCs are too old, I was able to find all the platforms myself
such as Meson6, Meson8, Meson8b, GXL and so on. I only tested it with
G12A and S4.But when I talked to Martin earlier he tried meson8b's log.
The test patch is in the attachment.

I have found that on some boards with this change, the initcall_debug
Uart driver takes longer to initialize. Running the stty command to
change the baud rate at the same time may cause a jam.

This kind of detail is important to document in the cover letter,
including a bit more detail on how to reproduce so that other can help
test or may have ideas for how to solve.

The problem recurrence method is described below:
First, add the patch I changed. It then launches normally to the console command line. Finally, run the stty command to change buad rate. The detailed commands are as follows:
stty -F /dev/ttyAML0 115200 and stty -F /dev/ttyAML0 921600 .Alternate execution can reproduce.

I'd love to know what else you suggest.

I don't expect you to be able to test on all SoCs, but just to list what
SoCs and which boards you tested on. This way, those who have other
boards can help test and we can have a better idea of how this was
tested before merging.

I only have S4 and G12A so far, so I've only tested on those two platforms.

Thanks,

Kevin
