Could you expand on that a little bit. What is there in the current
code which does not allow this? Range checking is nice, but i don't
see how it allows you to add additional baud rates.
The patch allowing it by adding baud rate range validation :-) Just
because of if you modify top level to allow faster baudrates you make
think all developers that these baud rates are supported or at least
properly handled, but it is not. With the validation code they will
get proper error code, so at application level there should be no
condition compiled code for different platforms.
