The function uart_fifo_timeout() returns an unsigned long value, which is
the number of jiffies. Therefore, the function uart_poll_timeout() has been
modified to use an unsigned long type for timeout values instead of an int
and to avoid truncation.
The return type of the function uart_poll_timeout() has also been changed
from int to unsigned long to be consistent with the type of timeout values.

v2:
- unsigned long instead of unsigned int
- added () after function name in short log
- updated description

Hi,
there is no truncation possible, right?

That's very likely true (I didn't run the calculations), thus it's correct
to not have Fixes tag. It's more about having consistent typing since
we're talking about jiffies, so unsigned long as usual.

Don't write changes you make in the patch in the past tense. Just say:
Change the return type of uart_poll_timeout() from ...
The comment also applies to the other sentence above this one.

Good. I would remove that "and to avoid truncation" completely from the
commit log. I would only say that we are getting things consistent.
"avoid truncation" can lead to -> we should backport it to stable. And
neither is true.

Yeah and that's of course fine by me.

I will drop "and to avoid truncation".
