ok, I missed that _set_termios() is void.

IIUC none of the values you mention are set in stone. 115200bps seems to be a
'standard' value for the serial console, but it could be a different baudrate.
I guess you are referring to Qualcomm Bluetooth controllers, which are only one
of many things that could be connected to the port. And what happens when a
QCA BT controller is connected to a non-geni/QCA port, which doesn't know about
its 'requirements'? The answer is that both the BT controller and the serial
console configure the baudrate they need, hence using different values in
_probe() is pointless.

Unsurprisingly one of the first things the QCA BT driver does is to configure
the baudrate. It typically starts with a lower ('init') speed, and then switches
to the higher ('operational') baudrate:
