No, you don't. This is my fault. My mail was not clear at all ;-)
In fact, I don't want to modify anything in the driver, and I really
understand now why my question is "stupidiously stupid".
I try again.
I'm wondering about a way (any way, even a trick) to know if the serial
port has received something. I'd like to write a program able to report
port state in "real time". I'm using TIOCSERGETLSR to see if data is
sent -> how can i know if data is received ? I was talking about LSR
because get_lsr_status is the last thing i've tried.

Thanks for your effort. I appreciate the details. Very clear.
