Subject: [PATCH] x86/serial: Use generic BASE_BAUD in asm/serial.h
Date: Fri, 17 Jul 2026 09:31:50 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260717073149.3622-3-thorsten.blum@linux.dev> (raw)
Include asm-generic/serial.h and use the generic BASE_BAUD definition
instead of redefining it. Update the comment accordingly.
