We were occasionally seeing the "Errata i202: timedout" on an AM335x board when repeatedly opening and closing a UART connected to an active sender. As new input may arrive at any time, it is possible to miss the "RX FIFO empty" condition, forcing the loop to wait until it times out. Nothing in the i202 Advisory states that such a wait is even necessary; other FIFO clear functions like serial8250_clear_fifos() do not wait either. For this reason, it seems safe to remove the wait, fixing the mentioned issue.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
