Subject[PATCH] Fix cyclades async driver timeout miscalculation
Hi, 

The attached patch fixes a problem where cy_wait_until_sent()
miscalculates (calculate -1 on a unsigned long) the "char_time" 
parameter passed to schedule_timeout(). 
Fix that by making it a signed long, and checking for 
negative value.

Please apply.
