When it fails to set baud rate, btmon has the following:

< HCI Command: Broadcom Update UART Baud Rate (0x3f|0x0018) plen 6 
        Encoded baud rate: Not used (0x0000)
        Explicit baud rate: 3000000 Mbps
> HCI Event: Command Complete (0x0e) plen 4                        
      Broadcom Update UART Baud Rate (0x3f|0x0018) ncmd 1
        Status: Command Disallowed (0x0c)

Not sure if this means the command is unsupported by this chip, or if an "Encoded
baud rate" needs to be specified.
