This patch series primarily focus on improving type consistency and
ensuring proper handling of timeout values. The changes aim to enhance
the redability and maintainability of the serial core.
Greg, sorry for the confusion.
I started the patch series with 3 patches. I submitted improvised
patches based on review comments for each patch in the series instead
of submitting all the patches at once. This may have caused confusion,
as each patch is now at a different version, with one patch at
v2 (NACKED) the second one ready for v2, and the third at v4.
From now on, I will increment the version for the whole series instead
of for individual patches.
I have now submitted the series as v5 to avoid duplicate version numbers.
In v5 it has two patches [v4 3/3] and [v2 2/3] while [v2 1/3] discarded.

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.
