Subject: [PATCH] Kernel support for 16C950's CPR register
Date: Wed, 20 Feb 2002 16:56:03 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <OFB97BA691.962BF699-ONC1256B66.00546B48@diamond.philips.com> (raw)

The 16C950 serial port from Oxford Semiconductor has a special register, 
called CPR (Clock Predivisor Register). This increases in steps of 1/8, 
thus allowing a finer control on the generated baud rate than the ordinary 
divisor registers DLL and DLM, that only increase in steps of 1.

There are 3 patches for CPR:
1. one written by me
2. one written by Jean Tourrilhes
3. one written by Ian Abbott

Patches 1 and 3 are available at 
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=300310&group_id=310&func=browse . 
Patch 2 is available at 
http://www.geocrawler.com/archives/3/8352/2001/10/0/6948700/ .

1. My patch is crap :) Avoid
2. Jean Tourrilhes' patch does not use CPR if the requested speed is 
higher than 115200 b/s. This is fine if the clock frequency is an integral 
multiple of 16*115200=1843200, but otherwise it does not exploit CPR's 
potential of fine-tuning speed.
3. Ian Abbott's patch is by far the best

Enclosed is an improvement over Ian Abbott's patch. Ian's disables 
quad-speed mode if the requested speed is lower than the baud base, while 
this enables quad-speed mode by default. Here is why: let's say the UART 
clock has a nonstandard frequency of 16 MHz, therefore the baud base is 
1000000. A speed of 460800 b/s is requested. Ian's patch disables 
quad-speed mode because 460800<1000000, then computes the best value of 
CPR=17. The resulting speed is 1000000/(17/8)=470588 b/s. This patch 
enables quad-speed mode, then computes the best value of CPR=69. Therefore 
the resulting speed is (1000000*4)/(69/8)=463768 b/s.

Using quad-speed mode allows a better resolution in setting speed.
