It is consistent with the handling of all other boards with
renesas SoCs that are present in mainline.

Perhaps that relates to the version of built of uboot.
On the board I have access to I see:
ver=U-Boot 2013.01.01-g5df9446 (Oct 01 2014 - 14:59:23)
And the following setting altered the baud rate of u-boot (IIRC).
baudrate=115200

If you are backporting this change then I believe it has some dependencies
that I can follow up on if it is useful to you.
If you are using mainline (e.g. next or renesas-next) then yes,
it works. I have tested it numerous times since the patch was merged.
