Subject: [PATCH 4.18 179/235] tty: fix termios input-speed encoding when using BOTHER

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

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

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

[ Upstream commit 1cee38f0363a88db374e50b232ca17b9a4c12fa0 ]

When the termios CIBAUD bits are left unset (i.e. B0), we use the same
output and input speed and should leave CIBAUD unchanged.

When the user requests a rate using BOTHER and c_ospeed which the driver
cannot set exactly, the driver can report back the actual baud rate
using tty_termios_encode_baud_rate(). If this rate is close enough to a
standard rate however, we could end up setting CIBAUD to a Bfoo value
despite the user having left it unset.

This in turn could lead to an unexpected input rate being set on
subsequent termios updates.

Fix this by using a zero tolerance value also for the input rate when
CIBAUD is clear so that the matching logic works as expected.
