[F][PATCH 1/1] serial: imx: Introduce timeout when waiting on transmitter empty

From: Esben Haabendal <esben at geanix.com>

By waiting at most 1 second for USR2_TXDC to be set, we avoid a potential
deadlock.

In case of the timeout, there is not much we can do, so we simply ignore
the transmitter state and optimistically try to continue.

[yuxuan.luo: read_poll_timeout_atomic() function is not introduced until
57a29df34146 (“iopoll: Introduce read_poll_timeout_atomic macro”),
however, readx_poll_timeout_atomic() can be used interchangeably.
