It raises a question. If I understand Sven's use case correctly,
he uses cdc-acm as a connection between systems. A data pipe
not a true serial device. Now you may call this an abuse but
cdc-acm has the whole acm logic, so my first instinct that
Sven should use a driver of his own is not going to fly.

So are we trying to fix the tty layer for a connection that
shouldn't use it?
