RTOS/MSP432E411Y: UARTMSP432E4_write - How to know about timeout

I do not believe that the way the API is written you can discern that a timeout occurred.  

    /* If writeMode is blocking, block and get the state. */
    if (object->state.writeMode == UART_MODE_BLOCKING) {
        /* Pend on semaphore and wait for Hwi to finish. */
        if (SemaphoreP_pend(object->writeSem, object->writeTimeout) !=
                SemaphoreP_OK) {
            /* Semaphore timed out, make the write empty and log the write. */
            UARTIntDisable(hwAttrs->baseAddr, UART_INT_TX);
            UARTIntClear(hwAttrs->baseAddr, UART_INT_TX);
            object->writeCount = 0;
        }
        return ((int_fast32_t)(object->writeSize - object->writeCount));
    }

Since the writeCount is set to zero when a timeout occurs and the writeCount is decremented to '0' and then a semaphore is posted the return value is the same.  I believe this is not intended but will verify.
