No, the standard doesn't include anything about a baud-base clock
AFAICT.

Again, no, the baud_base cannot be set and it is unknown and unused.
The only reason to report back baud_base is to support the deprecated
ASYNC_SPD_CUST interface used to set a custom divisor. cdc-acm has never
supported that for obvious reasons.
