Subject: [PATCH 1/2] x86/serial: Use generic BASE_BAUD in asm/serial.h
Date: Fri, 13 Nov 2026 09:23:15 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261113082316.67375-3-blum@kernel.org> (raw)
Include asm-generic/serial.h and use the generic BASE_BAUD definition
instead of redefining it. Consolidate the comments accordingly.
No functional change.
Signed-off-by: Thorsten Blum <blum@kernel.org>
