[PATCH v5 1/2] serial: core: Update uart_poll_timeout() function to return unsigned long

From: Vamshi Gajjela
Date: Mon Oct 30 2023 - 03:36:04 EST


The function uart_fifo_timeout() returns an unsigned long value, which
is the number of jiffies. Therefore, change the variable timeout in the
function uart_poll_timeout() from int to unsigned long.
Change the return type of the function uart_poll_timeout() from int to
unsigned long to be consistent with the type of timeout values.
