[PATCH v2] ACPI: SPCR: Support Precise Baud Rate filed
Posted by cp0613@linux.alibaba.com 4 months, 4 weeks ago 
From: Chen Pei <cp0613@linux.alibaba.com>

The Microsoft Serial Port Console Redirection (SPCR) specification
revision 1.09 comprises additional field: Precise Baud Rate [1].

It is used to describe non-traditional baud rates (such as those
used by high-speed UARTs).

It contains a specific non-zero baud rate which overrides the value
of the Configured Baud Rate field. If this field is zero or not
present, Configured Baud Rate is used.

The spec states that it would "override" the baud rate. That means it
should happen behind the table->baud_rate or firmware still needs to
give out a legal Configured Baud Rate for precise_baudrate.

Then, we move these:
+       if (table->precise_baudrate)
+               baud_rate = table->precise_baudrate;
behind the "switch (table->baud_rate) {}".

Right?

OK, I think "override" means priority in a sense, there is no need to do
an overriding action in the behavior.
