[PATCH] tty: hvc_console: Call hvc_kick in hvc_write unconditionally
From: Fabian Vogt
Date: Fri Aug 15 2025 - 07:34:29 EST
After hvc_write completes, call hvc_kick also in the case the output
buffer has been drained, to ensure tty_wakeup gets called.
This fixes that functions which wait for a drained buffer got stuck
occasionally.
