No, but we don't have any devices using the tty layer either. I believe
this is really only hardware related: If the internal buffer is full, the
sender has to be notified, so that it doesn't keep sending more data
(which would have to be dropped). In the pseudo tty case the sender can
simply be blocked (or in non-blocking mode the write fails).
