[PATCH] Revert "serial: 8250: Fix max baud limit in generic 8250 port"

[Daniel Winkler]

This reverts commit 0eeaf62981ecc79e8395ca8caa1570eaf3a12257.

The change regresses the QCA6174A-3 bluetooth chip, preventing
firmware from being properly loaded. We have verified that without
this patch, the chip works as intended.

Thanks for Cc'ing me.

That text doesn't say what is really wrong and why the firmware couldn't be loaded.
The original commit gets back the 8250 port baud rate limitation so if the baud
gets out of the range [uartclk / 16 / UART_DIV_MAX; (port->uartclk + tolerance) /
16], then it will be clamped to be within it. That range is what the standard
8250 port supports. Acceptance of out of that range values will cause a
problem further in calling serial8250_get_divisor() and uart_get_divisor()
methods (see the original patch log message) for standard 8250 ports. Any different
behavior must be taken into account by a custom set_termios() callbacks or at
least must be workarounded so the standard 8250 ports wouldn't be affected. So in
order to investigate the root cause of the problem it would be good to at least
know what your platform was and what UART port has been used in the attempt to
load the QCA6174A-3 chip firmware.

Adding the bluetooth list as well per the Bluetooth impact.

No cc: stable?  No Fixes: tag?

Hello all,

Please forgive any omitted information, as this is my first
upstreaming experience. I am preparing a second patch that will
clarify the requested points. Thanks in advance!

Best regards,
Daniel Winkler
