How many times round the loop is it going ?

It might be that by the time readx_poll_timeout_atomic()
gets around to reading the register the fifo is actually ready.

The there is the delay between detecting 'ready' and writing
the next data.
That delay might be cumulative and affect performance.

OTOH spinning waiting for fifo space is just plain horrid.
Reminds me of 3C509 drivers :-)
