Subject: [PATCH 4.19 109/118] gnss: serial: fix synchronous write timeout

4.19-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Johan Hovold <johan@...nel.org>

commit 56a6c7268312cba9436b84cac01b3e502c5c511d upstream.

Passing a timeout of zero to the synchronous serdev_device_write()
helper does currently not imply to wait forever (unlike passing zero to
serdev_device_wait_until_sent()). Instead, if there's insufficient
room in the write buffer, we'd end up with an incomplete write.

Fixes: 37768b054f20 ("gnss: add generic serial driver")
