[PATCH] tty: serial: uartlite: Specify time for sending chars

From: Michal Simek
Date: Mon May 05 2014 - 10:48:50 EST


Xilinx MDM (Microblaze Debug Module) also contains
uart interface via JTAG which is compatible with
uartlite driver. This interface is really slow
that's why timeout is setup to 1s.

Make this time delay not to be cpu speed dependent.

I finally got HW design which is just slow to be able
to test it.
