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.

v2:
- Fixed commit message typo
- Remove reference to patch series it originated from. This is a
  stand-alone patch

The "v2:" stuff needs to go below the --- line, so it doesn't show up in
the kernel changelog.  The kernel documentation should describe this,
right?

Please fix up and send a v3.

thanks,

Right. It is described in Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst.
Sorry about that.
