Subject: [PATCH] [bfin-sport-uart] The waiting loop to stop SPORT TX from TX interrupt is too long

The waiting loop to stop SPORT TX from TX interrupt is
too long. This may block SPORT RX interrupts and cause
RX FIFO overflow. So, do stop sport TX only after the last
char in TX FIFO is moved into the shift register.
