The function uart_fifo_timeout() returns an unsigned long value, which is the number of jiffies. Therefore, change the variable timeout in the function uart_poll_timeout() from int to unsigned long. Change the return type of the function uart_poll_timeout() from int to unsigned long to be consistent with the type of timeout values.
