This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

serial: 8250_dw: Revert "Improve clock rate setting"

to my tty git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty.git in the tty-next branch.

The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)

The patch will also be merged in the next major kernel release during the merge window.

If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

The commit

de9e33bdfa22 ("serial: 8250_dw: Improve clock rate setting")

obviously tries to cure symptoms, and not a root cause.

The root cause is the non-flexible rate calculation inside the corresponding clock driver. What we need is to provide maximum UART divisor value to the clock driver to allow it do the job transparently to the caller.

Since from the initial commit message I have got no clue which clock driver actually needs to be amended, I leave this exercise to the people who know better the case.

Moreover, it seems [1] the fix introduced a regression. And possible even one more [2].

Taking above, revert the commit de9e33bdfa22 for now.
