Before reset dbgu transmitter, we just wait TXEMPTY to drain the
transmitter register. If not doing this, we may sometimes see several
weird characters from DBGU.

A short delay is also added to make sure the new serial settings are
settled.

Are you sure-sure that can never hang, for example if the USART was never
initialized or when the baudrate generator is not running?
Can you rule out situations where TXREMPTY might not set because of
previous states?
Imagine NOR boot (or the 9XE) where not at91bootstrap might have run before?

Not to be picky here, but "100us is enough for ..." reads nicer in
the commentary:)

Best Regards,
