Subject: [PATCH] termios.3: SPARC architecture has 4 different Bnnn constants
Date: Sat, 31 Jul 2021 16:55:01 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210731145501.9944-1-pali@kernel.org> (raw)

SPARC is special, it does not have Bnnn constants for baud rates above
2000000. Instead it defines 4 Bnnn constants with smaller baud rates.

This difference between SPARC and non-SPARC architectures is present in
both glibc API (termios.h) and also kernel ioctl API (asm/termbits.h).
