Subject: [PATCH 4.9 025/109] serial: 8250: Preserve DLD[7:4] for PORT_XR17V35X

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Aaron Sierra <asierra@...-inc.com>


[ Upstream commit 0ab84da2e076948c49d36197ee7d254125c53eab ]

The upper four bits of the XR17V35x fractional divisor register (DLD)
control general chip function (RS-485 direction pin polarity, multidrop
mode, XON/XOFF parity check, and fast IR mode). Don't allow these bits
to be clobbered when setting the baudrate.
