Hi Jess, thanks for the feedback. I'll work that into a v2 to be
tested and emailed out later this evening. I've realized there's
also a bit of additional cleanup I could do, see inline below.

Thanks,

LiteX UART doesn't need `in_freq` and `baudrate`, so I'll remove the
parameters.

^^^ These aren't actually used by the LiteX UART ip block, so I'll get rid
of them.

... and here, lose `freq` and `baud`;
