From: Gabriel Matni <redacted> Fixes missing characters on kernel console at low baud rates (i.e.9600). The driver should poll TX_RDY or TX_FIFO_EMP instead of TX_EMP to ensure that the transmitter holding register (THR) is ready to receive a new byte. TX_EMP tells us when it is possible to send a break sequence via SND_BRK_SEQ. While this also indicates that both the THR and the TSR are empty, it does not guarantee that a new byte can be written just yet.

I think this line should be indented like the one you replaced. Thanks, Miqu?l -- Miquel Raynal, Bootlin (formerly Free Electrons) Embedded Linux and Kernel engineering https://bootlin.com
