Subject: [PATCH 168/319] rt: Improve the serial console PASS_LIMIT
MIME-Version: 1.0

Beyond the warning:

 drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250.c:1613:6: warning: unused variable ‘pass_counter’ [-Wunused-variable]

the solution of just looping infinitely was ugly - up it to 1 million to
give it a chance to continue in some really ugly situation.
