I'm working on getting my tty tests organized for upstreaming, but it's
not there yet. Let me see if I can get you a standalone test for
accuracy, at least.

Echoing uses put_char() + flush_chars() for echoing, if the driver
supports it; otherwise, it uses write().
Be aware that while the N_TTY line discipline ensures that put_char()
and write() usage will not be interleaved without flush_chars(), other
line disciplines might not, so at least be sure that driver won't
crash if that happens.
