Hi Stefan,

Please, could you take a look into following patch?
yes, but i cannot give a technical review. But from my gut feeling this doesn't look really elegant to me.

Thanks!
Ivan

Subject: [PATCH v2] clk: bcm2835: Round UART input clock up
Message-Id: <20220404125113.80239-1-iivanov@xxxxxxx>

The UART clock is initialised to be as close to the requested
frequency as possible without exceeding it. Now that there is a
clock manager that returns the actual frequencies, an expected
48MHz clock is reported as 47999625. If the requested baudrate
== requested clock/16, there is no headroom and the slight
reduction in actual clock rate results in failure.

If increasing a clock by less than 0.1% changes it from ..999..
to ..000.., round it up.

Based on this commit message this looks like a fix / workaround for an issue. It would be very helpful to know:

What issue should be fixed?

Why is it fixed here and not in the UART driver for instance?

In case it fixes a regression, a Fixes tag should be necessary.

In best case this is explained in the commit message.

Best regards


This is reworked version of a downstream fix:
