Commit 833e09807c49 ("serial: uartps: Add a timeout to the tx empty wait")
breaks all xilinx boot tests, here and in v4.19.y. Reverting it fixes the
problem. that is maybe not entirely surprising, given that there were
some 40 other commits into the same file since v4.14.

FWIW, I still think that way too many patches are being backported.
