USB: serial: ch341: reimplement line-speed handling
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The current ch341 divisor algorithm was known to give inaccurate results
for certain higher line speeds. Jonathan Olds <jontio@i4free.co.nz>
investigated this, determined the basic equations used to derive the
divisors and confirmed them experimentally [1].

The equations Jonathan used could be generalised further to:

	baudrate = 48000000 / (2^(12 - 3 * ps - fact) * div), where

		0 <= ps <= 3,
		0 <= fact <= 1,
		2 <= div <= 256 if fact = 0, or
		9 <= div <= 256 if fact = 1

which will also give better results for lower rates.

Notably the error is reduced for the following standard rates:

	1152000	(4.0% instead of 15% error)
	 921600	(0.16% instead of -7.5% error)
	 576000	(-0.80% instead of -5.6% error)
	    200	(0.16% instead of -0.69% error)
	    134	(-0.05% instead of -0.63% error)
	    110	(0.03% instead of -0.44% error)

but also for many non-standard ones.

The current algorithm also suffered from rounding issues (e.g.
requesting 2950000 Bd resulted in a rate of 2 MBd instead of 3 MBd and
thus a -32% instead of 1.7% error).

The new algorithm was inspired by the current vendor driver even if that
one only handles two higher rates that require fact=1 by hard coding the
corresponding divisors [2].

Michael Dreher <michael@5dot1.de> also did a similar generalisation of
Jonathan's work and has published his results with a very good summary
that provides further insights into how this device works [3].
