Interesting... For years (a few decades) everybody has used 115200 as
the standard setup for UART, as global definition.

Why suddenly somebody changed the UART baud rate to be non-standard?
From the speed point of view???

Don't think so.

Should U-Boot be adjusted to the standard baud rate of 115200 for RK3399?

My two cent addendum/thinking,
