The commit 1ba7622094 (serial: sh-sci: console Runtime PM support,
from Magnus Damm <damm@opensource.se>, 2011-08-03), tried to support
console runtime PM, but unfortunately it didn't work for us for some
reason. We did not investigated further at that time, instead would
like to propose a different approach.
In Linux tty/serial world, to get console PM work properly, a serial
client driver does not have to maintain .runtime_suspend()/..resume()
calls itself, but can leave console power power management handling to
the serial core driver.
This patch moves the sh-sci driver in that direction.
Notes:
* There is room to optimize console runtime PM more aggressively by
maintaining additional local runtime PM calls, but as a first step
having .pm() operation would suffice.
* We still have a couple of direct calls to sci_port_enable/..disable
left in the driver. We have to live with them, because they're out
of serial core's help.
