[Bala]: for now let us have it. we can improve it in the improvement patch
based on the results.

Fine.

With the UART buffer flushed and flow control disabled I wonder though
what makes you think that it could take longer than a few milliseconds
for the byte being put on the wire, short of a bug in the UART driver
or hardware, which (if it existed) shouldn't be worked around here.


[Bala]: i don't see any issue decreasing to milliseconds. will update it to 100ms.
