From 97d303b7657c1a45c158d002f829ff69196c493d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Daney Date: Tue, 5 Oct 2010 11:40:07 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] serial: 8250: Don't delay after transmitter is ready. The loop in wait_for_xmitr() is delaying one extra uS after the ready condition has been met. Rewrite the loop to only delay if the transmitter is not ready.
