Research direction

Start by reproducing bidirectional data transfer on a Raspberry Pi 4B using 4.19.50-v71 + #895, comparing /dev/pts/x behavior with a Pi 3B or 3B+. Check whether cat and CuteCom show the same failure; done means data can be sent and received through the affected pseudo-terminal devices.
