[PATCH 3.2.0] cp210x: Bug fix for CP2104 baudrate usage, Bugzilla #42586

[PATCH 3.2.0] cp210x: Bug fix for CP2104 baudrate usage, Bugzilla #42586

[Preston Fick]

From: Preston Fick <preston.fick@silabs.com>

This is a patch for the cp210x.ko driver with regards to the following bug report:
CP2104 Device doesn't respond to baudrate change request
Bug Report: #42586 in bugzilla.kernel.org: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42586

OS/Kernel version: GNU/Linux 3.2.0 (Mainline)

Description:
This fix changes the way baudrates are set on the CP210x devices from Silicon Labs. The CP2101/2/3 will respond to both a GET/SET_BAUDDIV command, and GET/SET_BAUDRATE command, while CP2104 and higher devices only respond to GET/SET_BAUDRATE. The current cp210x.ko driver in kernel version 3.2.0 only implements the GET/SET_BAUDDIV command.

This patch implements the two new codes for the GET/SET_BAUDRATE commands. Then there is a change in the way that the baudrate is assigned or retrieved. This is done according to the CP210x USB specification in AN571. This document can be found here: http://www.silabs.com/pages/DownloadDoc.aspx?FILEURL=Support%20Documents/TechnicalDocs/AN571.pdf&src=DocumentationWebPart

Sections 5.3/5.4 describe the USB packets for the old baudrate method. Sections 5.5/5.6 describe the USB packets for the new method. This patch also implements the new request scheme, and eliminates the unnecessary baudrate calculations since it uses the "actual baudrate" method.

This patch solves the problem reported for the CP2104 in bug 42586, and also keeps support for all other devices (CP2101/2/3).

This patchfile is also attached to the bug report on bugzilla.kernel.org. This patch has been developed and test on the 3.2.0 mainline kernel version under Ubuntu 10.11.

Thank you for the consideration of this patch.

Shouldn't this be CP210X_GET_BAUDRATE ?

[Preston Fick]

From: Preston Fick <preston.fick@silabs.com>

This is an updated patch for the cp210x.ko driver with regards to the
following bug report:
CP2104 Device doesn't respond to baudrate change request Bug Report:
#42586 in bugzilla.kernel.org:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42586

OS/Kernel version: GNU/Linux 3.2.0 (Mainline)

Description:
This fix changes the way baudrates are set on the CP210x devices from
Silicon Labs. The CP2101/2/3 will respond to both a GET/SET_BAUDDIV
command, and GET/SET_BAUDRATE command, while CP2104 and higher devices
only respond to GET/SET_BAUDRATE. The current cp210x.ko driver in
kernel version 3.2.0 only implements the GET/SET_BAUDDIV command.

This patch implements the two new codes for the GET/SET_BAUDRATE
commands. Then there is a change in the way that the baudrate is
assigned or retrieved. This is done according to the CP210x USB
specification in AN571. This document can be found here:
http://www.silabs.com/pages/DownloadDoc.aspx?FILEURL=Support%20Documents/TechnicalDocs/AN571.pdf&src=DocumentationWebPart

Sections 5.3/5.4 describe the USB packets for the old baudrate method.
Sections 5.5/5.6 describe the USB packets for the new method. This
patch also implements the new request scheme, and eliminates the
unnecessary baudrate calculations since it uses the "actual baudrate"
method.

This patch solves the problem reported for the CP2104 in bug 42586,
and also keeps support for all other devices (CP2101/2/3).

This patchfile is also attached to the bug report on

Hi Greg -

Here is the updated patchfile, and I have put in comments on your
questions inline. I'm obviously new to this, but hope to learn the
process to be able to help with the maintenance of this driver.

Yes - you are correct. I think I spent so much time trying to get bug
report and patch submitted properly I missed this when I diff'd my two
kernels. The corrected patch has been resubmitted at the top of this

Unfortunately the Silabs email is always tagged with this by the
server. I am changing over to another address which that doesn't
include this verbage. I've removed the verbage from this email to
prevent any issues.

Here are two that were posted recently, I didn't find any matches at
the time of development - I've included comments on the latest two:

Re: Kernel patch for driver/usb/serial/cp210x.c
- This patch only implements the SET_BAUDRATE, and is missing the
GET_BAUDRATE functionality
- This patch relies on the device string to be "CP2104 USB to UART
Bridge Controller", which could change on customized devices so it
will not work in all cases
*Conclusion: My patch is better than this one, but I only know this
because I've worked on the Windows and Mac drivers as well and
understand that all devices support the SET/GET_BAUDRATE commands
making it cleaner and simpler, and works in all cases for all devices

Johan Hovold <jhovold@...> (2012-01-15 23:36:49 GMT)
[PATCH 3/7] USB: cp210x: use direct baud-rate commands
- This patch is almost line for line what I have re-submitted above
*Conclusion: Since this is the same as mine either could be used

The main reason I'd like my patch applied is to get involved in the
process of helping to maintain this driver. I'm trying to adhere
closely to the patch and reporting standards with an easy fix like
this so I can understand the process and add more fixes and features
in the future.
