[ 45/46] pmac_zilog,kdb: Fix console poll hook to return instead of loop

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Greg KH <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

3.5-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 38f8eefccf3a23c4058a570fa2938a4f553cf8e0 upstream.

kdb <-> kgdb transitioning does not work properly with this UART
driver because the get character routine loops indefinitely as opposed
to returning NO_POLL_CHAR per the expectation of the KDB I/O driver
API.

The symptom is a kernel hang when trying to switch debug modes.
