[PATCH 2/2] serial: st-asc: Fix overflow in baudrate calculation

From: Maxime COQUELIN <hidden>
Date: 2014-07-24 12:03:58
Also in: linux-serial, lkml
Subsystem: arm/sti architecture, the rest, tty layer and serial drivers · Maintainers: Patrice Chotard, Linus Torvalds, Greg Kroah-Hartman, Jiri Slaby

In the current calculation, if the required baud rate is above 262143,
we get an overflow.

This patch uses a 64bits variable to do the maths.
Also, we remove the '+1' to avoid a divide by zero if the input clock
rate is something unexpected.
Indeed, if the input clock rate is zero, it is preferable to be notified,
since the UART won't work anyway.
