From 1d6b698764084510fe6168bb5b650165dced03ae Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Grant Likely Date: Tue, 23 Oct 2007 14:27:46 +1000 Subject: [POWERPC] Uartlite: speed up console output Change the wait_tx routine to call cpu_relax() instead of udelay() to reduce console output latency and test for the TXFULL bit instead of TXEMPTY. That way the FIFO doesn't need to by 100% flushed before writing the next character.
