It is even reproducible with the ROME timeout of 300ms.

The timeout doesn't help here. With 78e8fa2972e5 ("Bluetooth: hci_qca:
Deassert RTS while baudrate change command") RTS is deasserted during
the baudrate change, hence the controller only sends the response when
RTS is asserted again. Before the event resulted in a frame reassembly
error and the data was discarded.

Timing is certainly also a factor here (the problem isn't seen
always), but I don't think 'timing issue' is a proper description of
this issue. The problem is an event that the Bluetooth core doesn't
expect due to the hack of sending a raw command behind the core's back
to work around the firmware 'feature' of sending the command response
with the new baudrate.

Maybe a delay after re-asserting RTS can address is reliably, I don't
remember if I already experimented with that in the past. If a delay
can 'fix' the issue reliably I'm open to consider it for the sake of
simplicity, but only with a detailed comment that describes the
problem.
