Subject: [PATCH] serial: 8250_dw: retain programmed timing for BUSY waits
Date: Mon, 12 Oct 2026 06:10:20 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1791785420.8010663.945898876521967.uart-busy-frame-time@gmail.com> (raw)
Baud changes update frame_time before the programmed divisor changes.
A switch to a faster baud rate therefore shortens the DesignWare BUSY
wait.
The wait can expire while a frame at the old baud rate remains active.
Use the programmed frame duration for FIFO and BUSY waits.
Account for UART clock changes.
Fixes: a7b9ce39fbe4 ("serial: 8250_dw: Ensure BUSY is deasserted")
Signed-off-by: khaliforce <kforce@gmail.com>
---
Compared the complete patch off/on on MangoPi MQ Pro UART0.
Kept other port patches, kernel options and DTB identical.
Tested BUSY changes from 9600, 1200 and 300 to 115200.
All 11 paired changes fail without the patch and pass with it.
Each trial returns 64 matching loopback bytes.
