This looks like a bug fix so it should really have gone at the start of
the series so it can be sent to Linus as a bug fix rather than waiting
for the merge window.  This makes sense to me, a couple of nits below:

How deep can the FIFO be with this IP - could we end up ndelay()ing for
non-trivial amounts of time?

Please write normal conditional statements rather than using the ternery
operator - it helps with legibility.
