There is a risk that the variable will be used without being initialized.

This was largely found by using a static code analysis program called cppcheck.

This made me wonder my "baud" is special compared to the other three
variables. In fact I don't really think it is special so setting "baud"
from the else clause in the uninitialized branch makes more sense to me.

It looks valid .. We might want to just set it to 115200 which is what your change eventually does later in
the code.
