Maybe you just set a baud rate nearest to the one from the table in
case of BOTHER?

In that case perhaps you have to supply +-1 to the range. That's why I
asked about uart_get_baud_rate(). 

Maybe this flow will work for you

if (BOTHER)
 clear BOTHER
 call uart_get_baud_rate()

?

Hmm... Interesting. On one hand the poison is reasonable, on the other
we often do a memset() or {0} on structures, i.o.w. assign 0 as initial
value until spinlock_init().

Arnd, what do you think about this (and similar) case(s)?
