Your patch causes problems with some boards:

Configuring for SBC8540 board...
serial.c: In function 'calc_divisor':
serial.c:153: warning: integer overflow in expression
serial.c:153: warning: integer overflow in expression

Configuring for sbc8548 board...
serial.c: In function 'calc_divisor':
serial.c:153: warning: integer overflow in expression
serial.c:153: warning: integer overflow in expression


Do you have a quick fix, or shall I back out the patch?

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
