9600 is old school.

Most applications use 115200 as the default baud these days.

But now you just changed the default behavior :(

Can you guarentee that no one will complain / notice?  If not, then why
even change this?

thanks,

Yes I am aware, that is the point of the patch. :)

Actually the default behaviour is over-ridden via DT on all of the
platforms we support, and since ST platforms are all now DT-only this
change shouldn't make a noticeable difference for anyone:

arch/arm/boot/dts/
 stih407-b2120.dts:  bootargs = "console=ttyAS0,115200 clk_ignore_unused";
 stih410-b2120.dts:  bootargs = "console=ttyAS0,115200 clk_ignore_unused";
 stih410-b2260.dts:  bootargs = "console=ttyAS1,115200 clk_ignore_unused";
 stih418-b2199.dts:  bootargs = "console=ttyAS0,115200 clk_ignore_unused";

Given what I mentioned above, yes, or as near as dammit.

Because when using generic booting systems such as U-Boot's Distro
Boot, we need to be as generic as possible.  For this to be successful
everything needs to 'just work' without additional platform specific
burden i.e. non-generic kernel cmdlines.  With this change, we can
boot without specifying serial information on the cmdline to over-ride
the currently incorrect default behaviour.

Even ST's propitiatory debuggers use 115200 by default.  In fact, I
can't find anyone who knows why the default was ever set to 9600.
