Hi Felipe,

Thanks for finding this issue. Indeed, there is a bug on 3M+ baud
rates. First patch is close to a complete fix, but still contains
div-by-zero issue. Here is my version:
diff --git a/drivers/tty/serial/omap-serial.c b/drivers/tty/serial/omap-serial.c
index 816d1a2..808a880 100644
--- a/drivers/tty/serial/omap-serial.c

unsigned int baud)
 {
        unsigned int n13 = port->uartclk / (13 * baud);
        unsigned int n16 = port->uartclk / (16 * baud);
-       int baudAbsDiff13 = baud - (port->uartclk / (13 * n13));
-       int baudAbsDiff16 = baud - (port->uartclk / (16 * n16));
+       int baudAbsDiff13 = n13 ? (baud - (port->uartclk / (13 * n13))) : INT_MAX;
+       int baudAbsDiff16 = n16 ? (baud - (port->uartclk / (16 * n16))) : INT_MAX;
IOW:

int baudAbsDiff13 = 0;

if (n13)
	baudAbsDiff13 = (baud - (port->uartclk / (13 * n13)));

which is exactly what my patch did. I fail to see where division by zero
would be coming from.
        if(baudAbsDiff13 < 0)
                baudAbsDiff13 = -baudAbsDiff13;
        if(baudAbsDiff16 < 0)


With 48MHz UART clock, it will give
300: divisor = 12307 (13), real rate 300 (0.000000%)
600: divisor = 6153 (13), real rate 600 (0.000000%)
1200: divisor = 3076 (13), real rate 1200 (0.000000%)
2400: divisor = 1538 (13), real rate 2400 (0.000000%)
TRM has these all set with oversampling of 16. In fact only 460800,
921600, 1843200 and 3686400 should be using oversampling of 13.
