From: Esben Haabendal <esben@geanix.com>

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.

[yuxuan.luo: read_poll_timeout_atomic() function is not introduced until
57a29df34146 (“iopoll: Introduce read_poll_timeout_atomic macro”),
however, readx_poll_timeout_atomic() can be used interchangeably.

The usage of readx_poll_timeout_atomic() introduces an error which
does not allow the kernel to compile:
error: macro "readx_poll_timeout_atomic" passed 8 arguments, but takes just 6
In order to trigger the compile-time error it is necessary to enable
CONFIG_SERIAL_IMX_CONSOLE.
