I will summarize the concrete scenario, which will lead to the
understanding and further solution of deadling with serial driver.
[scenario]
1. in userspace I'm doing: > date > /dev/ttyS0
2. in kernelspace I want to print out this date.

I'm really new to kernel coding, that's why I maybe understand some
functions not the proper way.
I'm a bit confused.
So am I. Usually, you connect two different machines with a serial cable.
(Leaving out the special case of connecting ttyS0-ttyS1 on the same machine.)
This poses the first question: whose kernelspace? the sender or
the receiver side? And by "this date" do you perhaps mean
"whatever was sent", or specifically a date? And print to _where_?
Up to now, it looks like you want to do "cat </dev/ttyS0" in-kernel.
