Subject: [PATCH 3.2 007/106] USB: serial: mct_u232: fix big-endian
 baud-rate handling

3.2.93-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Johan Hovold <johan@...nel.org>

commit 26cede343656c0bc2c33cdc783771282405c7fb2 upstream.

Drop erroneous cpu_to_le32 when setting the baud rate, something which
corrupted the divisor on big-endian hosts.

Found using sparse:

	warning: incorrect type in argument 1 (different base types)
	    expected unsigned int [unsigned] [usertype] val
	    got restricted __le32 [usertype] <noident>
