Subject: [PATCH 1/5] net: irda: fix wait_until_sent poll timeout

In case an infinite timeout (0) is requested, the irda wait_until_sent
implementation would use a zero poll timeout rather than the default
200ms.

Note that wait_until_sent is currently never called with a 0-timeout
argument due to a bug in tty_wait_until_sent.

Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
Cc: stable <stable@...r.kernel.org>	# v2.6.12
