Yeah let's try after the merge window.
Not sure what else to do with the fix though. We currently have 8250_port.c not really aware of the hardare state for PM runtime at least for the hang-up path.

Now that we can detach and reattach the kernel serial console, there should not be any need for pm_runtime_irq_safe() anymore :)
And the UART wake-up from deeper idle states can only happen with help of external hardware like GPIO controller or pinctrl controller.
And for the always-on wake-up interrupt controllers we have the Linux generic wakeirqs to wake-up serial device on events.
So I think the way to procedd with pm_runtime_irq_safe() removal for serial drivers is to block serial PM runtime unless we have a wakeirq configured for omaps in devicetree. In the worst case the regression is that PM runtime for serial won't work unless properly configured.
And the UART wakeup latency will be a bit longer compared to pm_runtime_irq_safe() naturally.

Yes agreed.
