I assume that you don't even _use_ that serial port, do you? Or is it open for serial console logging or something? If it isn't even open, we shouldn't waste any time on the hardware. Your graph seems to say that serio1 shutdown is roughly from 29.40 to 29.85, ie almost half a second. That's just bogus. I don't see where it comes from, though. It looks like we have - pciserial_suspend_ports/serial_pnp_suspend -> serial8250_suspend_port -> uart_suspend_port -> (wait for tx_empty, but only for ASYNC_INITIALIZED, which shouldn't be true if it's closed, and should be limited to 30ms) uart_change_pm -> serial8250_pm and none of them look like they should take anywhere close to half a second. So I'm obviously missing something, and your chart didn't include the sleep/wakeup pairs.
