From 2f2fd0894991a04bf3581104d5ea3a8dc9a4f01f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Timur Tabi Date: Fri, 15 Jan 2016 14:32:20 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] serial: amba-pl011: use cpu_relax when polling registers Busy loops that poll on a register should call cpu_relax(). On some architectures, it can lower CPU power consumption or yield to a hyperthreaded twin processor. It also serves as a compiler barrier, so it can replace barrier() calls.
