Subject[PATCH 3/3] tty: hvc: hvc_write() fix break condition
Date
Commit 550ddadcc758 ("tty: hvc: hvc_write() may sleep") broke the
termination condition in case the driver stops accepting characters.
This can result in unnecessary polling of the busy driver.

Restore it by testing the hvc_push return code.
