[PATCH] video: fbdev: pm2fb: avoid stall on fb_sync

From: Tong Zhang
Date: Sat Feb 20 2021 - 18:05:59 EST


pm2fb_sync is called when doing /dev/fb read or write.
The original pm2fb_sync wait indefinitely on hardware flags which can
possibly stall kernel and make everything unresponsive.
Instead of waiting indefinitely, we can timeout to give user a chance to
get back control.
