You don't explain why it doesn't.  It should in theory allow you to,
because there's no limits within that function other than those which
you pass in as the minimum and maximum.

If your userspace hasn't been updated to use the integer baud rate
setting mechanisms, then that could be where the problem lies.
Alternatively, if some Bxxxx setting is not being respected by
tty_termios_baud_rate(), that also would need fixing.

But the fix you propose in this patch just looks wrong.
