[Interest] Serial Port custom baud rate problem

[Stefano Cordibella]

Thank you Denis for your suggestion about reporting my problem as issue 
on bug tracker.

I have just reported it in 
https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-34212

Frederic, I would kindly suggest you also report your valuable 
experience there! ;)

Stefano.
