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

From: Nicholas Piggin
Date: Wed Sep 05 2018 - 08:15:06 EST


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.
