From: FUJITA Tomonori <fujita.tomonori@gmail.com>

write_all() and wait_until_sent() take the timeout as a raw Jiffies,
which is a c_ulong alias. The type does not show the unit.

Take the timeout as Delta<Jiffy> instead.

The C side treats a timeout of 0 as "wait indefinitely". The Rust API
does not keep that meaning. A timeout of 0 or negative is rounded up
to one jiffy. A caller that wants to wait indefinitely passes
Delta::from_jiffies(isize::MAX). That value is MAX_SCHEDULE_TIMEOUT.
The C side replaces 0 with MAX_SCHEDULE_TIMEOUT before it waits, so
this gives the same wait as a timeout of 0 did before.

v3:
- Fix the serdev::Driver doctest example, which still passed 0
  (sashiko, Markus)
- Add Markus' Reviewed-by
v2: https://lore.kernel.org/rust-for-linux/20261102005125.626125-1-tomo@flapping.org/
- Round a timeout of 0 or negative up to one jiffy instead of passing 0,
  which the C side treats as "wait indefinitely" (Gary)
- Document Delta::from_jiffies(isize::MAX) for an indefinite wait
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/rust-for-linux/20260930041339.1551129-1-tomo@flapping.org/
