[ Upstream commit d91f98be26 ]
After a console has written a record into UART_TX, it uses
wait_for_xmitr() to wait until the data has been sent out before
returning. However, wait_for_xmitr() will timeout after 10ms,
regardless if the data has been transmitted or not.
For single bytes, this timeout is sufficient even at very slow
baud rates, such as 1200bps. However, when FIFO mode is used,
there may be 64 bytes pushed into the FIFO at once. At a baud
rate of 115200bps, the 10ms timeout is still sufficient. But
when using lower baud rates (such as 57600bps), the timeout
is _not_ sufficient. This causes longer lines to be cut off,
resulting in lost and horribly misformatted output on the
console.
When using FIFO mode, take the number of bytes into account to
determine an appropriate maximum timeout. Increasing the timeout
does not affect performance since ideally the timeout never
occurs.
