0x7d and 0x7e bytes are meant to be escaped in the data portion of frames, but this didn't occur since next_chunk_len() had an off-by-one error. That also resulted in the final byte of a payload being written as a separate tty write op.
The chunk prior to an escaped byte would be one byte short, and the next call would never test the txpos+1 case, which is where the escaped byte was located. That meant it never hit the escaping case in mctp_serial_tx_work().
Example Input: 01 00 08 c8 7e 80 02
Previous incorrect chunks from next_chunk_len():
01 00 08 c8 7e 80 02
With this fix:
01 00 08 c8 7e 80 02
