[ Upstream commit e828e56684 ]
We were occasionally seeing the "Errata i202: timedout" on an AM335x
board when repeatedly opening and closing a UART connected to an active
sender. As new input may arrive at any time, it is possible to miss the
"RX FIFO empty" condition, forcing the loop to wait until it times out.
Nothing in the i202 Advisory states that such a wait is even necessary;
other FIFO clear functions like serial8250_clear_fifos() do not wait
either. For this reason, it seems safe to remove the wait, fixing the
mentioned issue.
Fixes: 61929cf016 ("tty: serial: Add 8250-core based omap driver")
