change 'baud' to 'current-speed'. There is already precedence for this
with other serial devices.

This breaks non-DT users. Is this what you intend? It creates a flag day
where users have to switch from non-DT to DT cold-turkey.

Don't fail on this. If you can't get an id then choose one dynamically.
