Subject: [PATCH v3 1/3] serial: sh-sci: Avoid divide-by-zero fault
Date: Mon, 20 Apr 2026 15:04:21 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260420140426.237865-2-biju.das.jz@bp.renesas.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260420140426.237865-1-biju.das.jz@bp.renesas.com>

From: Biju Das <biju.das.jz@bp.renesas.com>

The expression (10000 * bits) / (baud / 100) can produce a divide-by-zero
if baud is less than 100, since integer division yields zero before the
outer divide occurs. Rewrite it as (10000 * bits) * 100 / baud, which is
algebraically equivalent but eliminates the intermediate division, making
a zero divisor impossible for any valid baud rate.
