From 2ec812a04ff4ef8d4cba4005b7526691333a2973 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Douglas Anderson Date: Fri, 11 Sep 2020 08:00:57 -0700 Subject: tty: serial: qcom_geni_serial: 115.2 is a better console default than 9600 Commit c5cbc78acf69 ("tty: serial: qcom_geni_serial: Initialize baud in qcom_geni_console_setup") fixed a bug by initting a variable that was used in some cases without initialization. However, the "default" baud rate picked by that CL was probably not the best choice. The chances that anyone out there is trying to run a system with kernel messages piped out over a 9600 baud serial port is just about nil. Console messages are printed in a blocking manner. At 9600 baud we print about 1 character per millisecond which means that printing a 40-byte message to the console will take ~40 ms. While it would probably work, it's going to make boot _very_ slow and probably cause the occasional timeout here and there in drivers (heck, even at 115200 console delays can wreck havoc). This has already bit at least two people that I'm aware of that tried to enable serial console by just adding "console=ttyMSM0" (instead of "console=ttyMSM0,115200n8") to the command line, so it seems like it'd be nice to fix. Let's switch the default to 115200.
