Subject: [PATCH] serial: Z85C30: BCM1480: loops reach -1

With a postfix decrement 'loops' reaches -1, which is subsequently returned.
In drivers/serial/zs.c, line 1137 it is considered as a boolean with 0
as failure:

if (zs_transmit_drain(zport, irq))
                write_zsdata(zport, ch);

so to use it as such loops should end at 0 after the loop rather than -1.
This also fixes similar loops in other functions.
