From: Thomas Hellstrom <thellstrom@xxxxxxxxxx>

This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.

===============

commit f01ea0c3d9db536c64d47922716d8b3b8f21d850 upstream.

The code waiting for fifo idle was incorrect and could possibly spin
forever under certain circumstances.
