Thanks for updating the commit message and provide more details!

nit: baudrate

re-nit (to consider if you respin anyway): 'This prevents the chip
from transmitting its response with the new baudrate while the host
port is still operating at the old speed'?
(I'm not a native English speaker, probably there is still room for
improvement ;-)
