Commit 8f3631f0f6eb ("serial/8250: Use fifo in 8250 console driver") reworked functions for basic 8250 and 16550 type serial devices in order to enable and use the internal fifo device for buffering, however the default timeout of 10 ms remained, which is proving to be insufficient for low baud rates like 9600, causing data overrun. Unforunately, that commit was written and accepted just before commit 31f6bd7fad3b ("serial: Store character timing information to uart_port") which introduced the frame_time member of the uart_port struct in order to store the amount of time it takes to send one uart frame relative to the baud rate and other serial port configuration, and commit f9008285bb69 ("serial: Drop timeout from uart_port") which established function uart_fifo_timeout() in order to calculate a reasonable timeout to wait until flushing the fifo device before writing data again when partially filled, using the now stored frame_time value and size of the buffer. Fix this by using the stored timeout value made with this new function to calculate the timeout for the fifo device, when enabled, and when the buffer is larger than 1 byte (unknown port default). The previous 2 commits add the struct members used here in order to store the values, so that the calculations are offloaded from the functions that are called during a write operation for better performance. Tested on a MIPS device (ar934x) at baud rates 625, 9600, 115200.
