OK not I got it working thusly:

/*
 * Make sure the core will not snap baudrate to something
 * "close to" requested rate by setting the BOTHER
 * (baud rate other) flag.
 */
tty->termios->c_cflag &= ~CBAUD;
tty->termios->c_cflag |= BOTHER | (BOTHER >> IBSHIFT);
tty_encode_baud_rate(tty, baud, baud);

There are no in-kernel consumers doing this wicked thing so
mailing it here for reference.

Hope I got it right now...

Yours,
