I guess by defined way to set the baud you mean setting baud after
device alias
in stdout-path property (like stdout-path = "serial:115200n8"), right?

The idea was to reuse "baud" property from serial node to set the
earlycon baud:

chosen {
    ...
    stdout-path = &serial;
};

serial: uart at ... {
    ...
    baud = <115200>;   /* Get baud from here */
};

I added only baud parsing here because we parse only baud from standard
options
when register_earlycon is used. (see parse_options function which is
called
from register_earlycon)

But I can add other standard options parsing here (probably using
uart_parse_options + uart_set_options). 
What do you think?
