NetBox version

v3.0.8

Python version

3.9

Steps to Reproduce

If you pass a zero port speed value ("speed": null) when creating console ports via the API, an error is generated: {"error": "Field 'speed' expected a number but got ''.", "Exception": "ValueError "," netbox_version ":" 3.0.8 "," python_version ":" 3.9.2 "}.
The documentation says:

speed	integer
    title: Speed
    x-nullable: true

Steps:

#curl -X POST http://localhost:8001/api/dcim/console-ports/ -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H "Authorization: TOKEN 0000000000000000000000000000000000000" -d '{"description": "", "device": 6653, "label": "", "mark_connected": false, "name": "con0", "speed": null, "tags": [], "type": "rj-45"}'
{"error": "Field 'speed' expected a number but got ''.", "exception": "ValueError", "netbox_version": "3.0.8", "python_version": "3.9.2"}
# curl -X POST http://localhost:8001/api/dcim/console-ports/ -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H "Authorization: TOKEN 0000000000000000000000000000000000000" -d '{"description": "", "device": 6653, "label": "", "mark_connected": false, "name": "con0", "tags": [], "type": "rj-45"}'
