That's not the base clock rate, that's just the currently configured
line speed which you can read from termios.

The driver got its interpretation of baud_base wrong, and CDC doesn't
even have a concept of base clock rate so removing it is the right thing
to do.

Again, baud_base is really only relevant with legacy UARTs and when
using the deprecated ASYNC_SPD_CUST.

And if the user wants to knows the current line speed we have a
different interface for that.
