[PATCH 5/8] serial: Fix crash if the minimum rate of the device is > 9600 baud

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Wed Jan 20 2010 - 18:52:19 EST


From: Alan Cox <alan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

In that situation if the old rate is invalid and the new rate is invalid
and the chip cannot do 9600 baud we report zero, which makes all the
drivers explode.

Instead force the rate based on min/max
