The function uart_fifo_timeout() returns an unsigned long value, which
is the number of jiffies. Therefore, change the variable timeout in the
function uart_poll_timeout() from int to unsigned long.
Change the return type of the function uart_poll_timeout() from int to
unsigned long to be consistent with the type of timeout values.

Please use lower case letters like I think you mean to?
Also, where are patches 1/3 and 2/3 of this series? I can't do anything
without them as well.

So we are now doing 64bit math? Did that just make things slower?
What bug is this actually fixing? How have you tested this to verify it
works?

That divide with a constant 2 though so I'd expect compiler to turn it
into a shift.

AFAIK this doesn't fix anything because emptying when measured in jiffies
isn't that big number. It's just about making the types more consistent.

Ah, ok, I'll wait for a proper version to be sent as I obviously can't
take it like-this.

1/3 is dropped:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CAMTSyjqc118-by6LRHaSN7k8fOcR6K0kmYXdthPD7rqJuYOaVw@mail.gmail.com/
2/3 is a clean up:

I didn't realize you were waiting for some input.
You can do that rename if you want. Now that I looked again that patch, I
was considering that perhaps the local frame_time variable could also be
dropped in that function.

But I see no threading of anything here, please submit things so that we
have a chance to know what is going on. What would you do if you got a
patch that only said 3/3 to review?
