If the specific baud rate is defined in the spec then we shouldn't be
providing knobs to turn to change it.

Why? If NMEA devices allow the default to be changed it seems reasonable that
the driver should
too. I don't see a downside to allowing the data rate to be changed.

That's part of the question that's not clear to me. It's one thing if
it's only designed for one baud rate, it's something else if the spec
allows for other baud rates.
The spec being cited is the NMEA spec. IIUC the NMEA spec defines the
protocol and establishes a standard baud rate for compatibility with
other NMEA devices in; e.g. a marine application. Here, the only other
device involved is a computer that is presumably capable of anything
from 300 baud to 115K baud.
