Seems unlikely -- unless you're actually connecting the emulated
serial port to a real host serial port, we don't do anything with
the baudrate in the cmsdk uart model except complain if the
guest hasn't set it to something valid.

It does worry me a little, but if neither you nor I can repro
it at the moment there's not a lot we can do about it I think.
Looking at the ptimer and cmsdk timer code I think it *should*
now implement what the hardware does...

If you see the problem again in future let me know and we
can have another go at figuring out what's going on.

Thanks for the testing.
