So we still have that TX watermark bug in the SiFive UARTs.  If this function
is supposed to wait until the word is actually out on the line then this isn't
sufficient, but if it's just supposed to wait until the next write won't block
then this is fine.

I'm not really a serial person, so mabye someone else knows?  For those
unfamiliar with the issue, there's a pretty good description in the patch to
fix it

    https://github.com/sifive/sifive-blocks/pull/90

Poking around we don't have any PRE_RATE_CHANGE hook, so I'm going to take a
whack at adding one -- not really related to this patch, though.

I do have to drop this patch from my tree, as it breaks the build, so it
needs to be redone anyway :(

I read the description is this patch and it is very clear to
understand the issue.
Thanks for your sharing.

In this case, the __ssp_wait_for_xmitr() is used to prevent the word in the
TX FIFO buffer from being corrupted by the next write. Therefore, I
think it might
be sufficient to check thetxdata.full bit.

Thanks for your comment.

Thanks for the test to find out my mistake.
I will fix it and resend the 2nd version patch.
Thanks
