[RFC v2 2/4] ACPI: SPCR: don't initialize baud rate

Show all headers | View raw

AppliedMicro X-Gene based boards don't use the "standard"
16550 clock rate so supplying a baud rate makes it change
to a random baud rate.

I suggest to introduce a new value '0' for the "Baud
Rate" field of SPCR (now this value is reserved).

This patch introduces a check for this value.  In this case
the code does not emit baud rate specification for initialization
of the console.
