Subject: [PATCH 3/3] tty: hvc: hvc_write() fix break condition

From: Nicholas Piggin <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 5 Sep 2018 22:14:39 +1000

Commit 550ddadcc758 ("tty: hvc: hvc_write() may sleep") broke the
termination condition in case the driver stops accepting characters.
This can result in unnecessary polling of the busy driver.

Restore it by testing the hvc_push return code.
