So in this cause baud isn't the one the user asked. Also the user can
make it spew errors by continually generating wrong rates.

If the error is large go for the nearest you can and return it. The core
tty code will do all the rest including reporting to the user they didn't
get their wishes.

and in this it may not be exact.

I suspect this routine needs to return the actual baud rate (or maybe
baudrate/error code)

and this should do something like

baud = xuartps_set_baud_rate(port baud);

[which would also fix this timeout!]

Otherwise looks ready to merge
