+/** Change baudrate of SM communication port. This does not affect already opened ports but the next smOpenBus will be opened at the new speed.
+ Calling this is optional. By default SM bus and all slave devices operates at 460800 BPS speed.
+ Parameters:
+ -bps: bus speed in bits per second. for possible choices, see rs232.c (but note that all speeds are not necessarily supported by SM devices)
+ Typical usage is:
+ - first call smSetParameter(handle,0,SMP_BUS_SPEED,N) to change speed of all connected slaves to N PBS
+ - then close port with smCloseBus
+ - then call smSetBaudrate(N)
+ - then open bus again with smOpenBus
+
+ Note that in upcoming SM device firmware versions, bitrate will be reset to default (460800) if device side SM bus watchdog timer has been enabled, and it timeouts.
+ This allows re-establishing connection at defautl speed if connection breaks up and SM bus watchdog timeout gets exceeded. To identify is device supports this,
+ read parameter SMP_SM_VERSION. Values above 25 support this feature. Value 25 and below will not reset baudrate.
+
+ Note also that SMP_BUS_SPEED will not be saved in device flash memory - it will reset to default at every reset & power on.
