There is no "baud rate" for usb cdc devices, really, as you have tried
this already, right?

Just send the data as fast as you can, with the largest chunks of data
that you have (do not send it byte by byte to the kernel), and you
should be fine.

Are you sure that your device can handle that type of data rate?  That's
almost always the limiting factor.

good luck!
