[ Upstream commit 366f6c955d ]

Oxford Semiconductor PCIe (Tornado) 950 serial port devices are driven
by a fixed 62.5MHz clock input derived from the 100MHz PCI Express clock.

We currently drive the device using its default oversampling rate of 16
and the clock prescaler disabled, consequently yielding the baud base of
3906250.  This base is inadequate for some of the high-speed baud rates
such as 460800bps, for which the closest rate possible can be obtained
by dividing the baud base by 8, yielding the baud rate of 488281.25bps,
which is off by 5.9638%.  This is enough for data communication to break
with the remote end talking actual 460800bps, where missed stop bits
have been observed.

We can do better however, by taking advantage of a reduced oversampling
rate, which can be set to any integer value from 4 to 16 inclusive by
programming the TCR register, and by using the clock prescaler, which
can be set to any value from 1 to 63.875 in increments of 0.125 in the
CPR/CPR2 register pair.  The prescaler has to be explicitly enabled
though by setting bit 7 in the MCR or otherwise it is bypassed (in the
enhanced mode that we enable) as if the value of 1 was used.

Make use of these features then as follows:

- Set the baud base to 15625000, reflecting the minimum oversampling
  rate of 4 with the clock prescaler and divisor both set to 1.

- Override the `set_mctrl' and set the MCR shadow there so as to have
  MCR[7] always set and have the 8250 core propagate these settings.

- Override the `get_divisor' handler and determine a good combination of
  parameters by using a lookup table with predetermined value pairs of
  the oversampling rate and the clock prescaler and finding a pair that
  divides the input clock such that the quotient, when rounded to the
  nearest integer, deviates the least from the exact result.  Calculate
  the clock divisor accordingly.

  Scale the resulting oversampling rate (only by powers of two) if
  possible so as to maximise it, reducing the divisor accordingly, and
  avoid a divisor overflow for very low baud rates by scaling the
  oversampling rate and/or the prescaler even if that causes some
  accuracy loss.

  Also handle the historic spd_cust feature so as to allow one to set
  all the three parameters manually to arbitrary values, by keeping the
  low 16 bits for the divisor and then putting TCR in bits 19:16 and
  CPR/CPR2 in bits 28:20, sanitising the bit pattern supplied such as
  to clamp CPR/CPR2 values between 0.000 and 0.875 inclusive to 33.875.
  This preserves compatibility with any existing setups, that is where
  requesting a custom divisor that only has any bits set among the low
  16 the oversampling rate of 16 and the clock prescaler of 33.875 will
  be used as with the original 8250.

  Finally abuse the `frac' argument to store the determined bit patterns
  for the TCR, CPR and CPR2 registers.

- Override the `set_divisor' handler so as to set the TCR, CPR and CPR2
  registers from the `frac' value supplied.  Set the divisor as usual.

With the baud base set to 15625000 and the unsigned 16-bit UART_DIV_MAX
limitation imposed by `serial8250_get_baud_rate' standard baud rates
below 300bps become unavailable in the regular way, e.g. the rate of
200bps requires the baud base to be divided by 78125 and that is beyond
the unsigned 16-bit range.  The historic spd_cust feature can still be
used to obtain such rates if so required.
