So this looks like another step in the right direction but there are
still some missing pieces.

First, you need to provide an overview of the design decisions made here
in cover letter. It's currently spread out over several patches and
those commit messages still do not hold all the details.

Specifically, it looks like tx can still stall indefinitely if the
autosuspend timer fires. This can happen at low baud rates and also when
using flow control.

It also looks like the expected calls to update the last busy timestamp
might be missing from the interrupt handlers or related helpers.

Please also describe how this interacts with the console. Is a console
port now never suspended? Where is that enforced? The final patch
appears to rely on this when it drops PM calls from for example some
console poll callbacks.

Please also be more specific here when sending an updated series. I
can't really tell what has changed from just this one sentence.
