Subject[PATCH] serial: sc16is7xx: change confusing comment about Tx FIFO
From: Hugo Villeneuve <hvilleneuve@dimonoff.com>

The comment wording can be confusing, as txlen will return the number of
bytes available in the FIFO, which can be less than the maximum theoretical
Tx FIFO size.

Change the comment so that it is unambiguous.
