Subject: [PATCH v3 3/3] serial: core: Update uart_poll_timeout() function to
 return unsigned long

From: VAMSHI GAJJELA <vamshigajjela@...gle.com>

The function uart_fifo_timeout() returns an unsigned long value, which
is the number of jiffies. Therefore, change the variable timeout in the
function uart_poll_timeout() from int to unsigned long.
Change the return type of the function uart_poll_timeout() from int to
unsigned long to be consistent with the type of timeout values.

v3:
- updated description
v2:
- unsigned long instead of unsigned int
- added () after function name in short log
- updated description
