[v3] ACPI: SPCR: Support Precise Baud Rate filed

[PATCH v3] ACPI: SPCR: Support Precise Baud Rate filed

Posted by cp0613@linux.alibaba.com 2 weeks, 5 days 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.

Applied as 6.18 material, thanks!
