serial: sh-sci: Fix hang in sci_reset()
When the .set_termios() callback resets the UART, it first waits (busy
loops) until all characters in the transmit FIFO have been transmitted,
to prevent a port configuration change from impacting these characters.
However, if the UART has dedicated RTS/CTS hardware flow control
enabled, these characters may have been stuck in the FIFO due to CTS not
being asserted by the remote side.
- When a new user opens the port, .set_termios() is called while
transmission is still disabled, leading to an infinite loop:
NMI watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 22s!
- When an active user changes port configuration without waiting for
the draining of the transmit FIFO, this may also block indefinitely,
until CTS is asserted by the remote side.
This has been observed with SCIFA (on r8a7740/armadillo), and SCIFB and
HSCIF (on r8a7791/koelsch).
To fix this, remove the code that waits for the draining of the transmit
FIFO.
