Well, I finally tested it over here, and what I found is:

If the line has a \r among the first 16 bytes, then the information
is TXed immediately. If there is no \r in the first 16 bytes, then the
information seems to be buffered.

So, it seems that that the patch should ask the driver to TX the
information when we receive a \r or when the buffer is full. Does it
make sense to you ?

Thanks
