+Subject: [RFC] serial: core: add support for boot console with arbitrary
+ baud rates
+
+The Arduino Yun uses a baud rate of 250000 by default. The serial is
+going over the Atmel ATmega and is used to connect to this chip.
+Without this patch Linux wants to switch the console to 230400 Baud.
+
+With this patch Linux will use the configured baud rate and not some
+standard one which is near by.
+
