Then you can keep the disable at the beginning of the block (as it
previously was) and use clk_round_rate() instead of:

clk_set_rate();
clk_get_rate();

And use clk_set_rate() only if the following is true:

+ if (abs(ERROR_RATE(baud, actual_baud)) >
+ abs(ERROR_RATE(baud, gclk_rate / 16))) {

Having this, in case gclk cannot be used it is just disable w/o also having
the rate changed.

There is no guarantee that the disable/enable in set_termios() will not
fail. If you want to avoid failures you can just take into account the
returning code of clk_prepare_enable() in set_termios() and decide to use
generic clock for baud rate depending on this.
