[ Upstream commit 7b668c064ec33f3d687c3a413d05e355172e6c92 ]
Standard 8250 UART ports are designed in a way so they can communicate with baud rates up to 1/16 of a reference frequency. It's expected from most of the currently supported UART controllers. That's why the former version of serial8250_get_baud_rate() method called uart_get_baud_rate() with min and max baud rates passed as (port->uartclk / 16 / UART_DIV_MAX) and ((port->uartclk + tolerance) / 16) respectively. Doing otherwise, like it was suggested in commit ("serial: 8250_mtk: support big baud rate."), caused acceptance of bauds, which was higher than the normal UART controllers actually supported. As a result if some user-space program requested to set a baud greater than (uartclk / 16) it would have been permitted without truncation, but then serial8250_get_divisor(baud) (which calls uart_get_divisor() to get the reference clock divisor) would have returned a zero divisor. Setting zero divisor will cause an unpredictable effect varying from chip to chip. In case of DW APB UART the communications just stop.
Lets fix this problem by getting back the limitation of (uartclk + tolerance) / 16 maximum baud supported by the generic 8250 port. Mediatek 8250 UART ports driver developer shouldn't have touched it in the first place notably seeing he already provided a custom version of set_termios() callback in that glue-driver which took into account the extended baud rate values and accordingly updated the standard and vendor-specific divisor latch registers anyway.
