nit: Not that it should make a different in normal operation, but 1s
seems extreme. Is there really any chance that the byte hasn't been
sent after say 100ms (which is still an eternity for a single byte)?

use msecs_to_jiffies()

I incorrectly claimed that there might be still bytes sitting in the
UART FIFO when serdev_device_wait_until_sent() returns, Johan
corrected me on that (thanks!). So if it takes the SoC 100us to settle
down we should be good with the original code.
