Depends on the driver unfortunately. I guess this is with your PL2303
for which we don't know how to determine when the FIFO has emptied.
For speeds >1200 Bd we instead wait for the full 256 bytes to clear, but
we don't add 23 seconds to every close at 110 Bd for example and instead
cap the drain delay at 2 s (see tty_port_drain_delay()).
