In the datasheet, the 0 value is said to "disable" the Transmitter Timeguard but this is exactly the expected behavior if we want no delay...

TTY: fix tty_wait_until_sent on 64-bit machines 2015-05-09T22:16:24+00:00 Johan Hovold johan@kernel.org 2015-03-04T09:39:06+00:00 0b6acc6c9ddce5f9b3a96f93c47378a9e4b58e47 commit 79fbf4a550ed6a22e1ae1516113e6c7fa5d56a53 upstream. Fix overflow bug in tty_wait_until_sent on 64-bit machines, where an infinite timeout (0) would be passed to the underlying tty-driver's wait_until_sent-operation as a negative timeout (-1), causing it to return immediately. This manifests itself for example as tcdrain() returning immediately, drivers not honouring the drain flags when setting terminal attributes, or even dropped data on close as a requested infinite closing-wait timeout would be ignored. The first symptom was reported by Asier LLANO who noted that tcdrain() returned prematurely when using the ftdi_sio usb-serial driver. Fix this by passing 0 rather than MAX_SCHEDULE_TIMEOUT (LONG_MAX) to the underlying tty driver. Note that the serial-core wait_until_sent-implementation is not affected by this bug due to a lucky chance (comparison to an unsigned maximum timeout), and neither is the cyclades one that had an explicit check for negative timeouts, but all other tty drivers appear to be affected.
