So your userspace is calling tcflush, and serial_core responds by
flushing (dropping) the buffer. That seems like expected behaviour to
me.

This is presumably from the busybox getty applet, which does:

static void termios_init(struct termios *tp, int speed, struct options *op)
{
	speed_t ispeed, ospeed;
	/*
	 * Initial termios settings: 8-bit characters, raw-mode, blocking i/o.
	 * Special characters are set after we have read the login name; all
	 * reads will be done in raw mode anyway. Errors will be dealt with
	 * later on.
	 */
	/* flush input and output queues, important for modems! */
	tcflush(0, TCIOFLUSH);

You could change that to a tcdrain() if that's not what you want.
