On a board using qcom_geni_serial I found that I could no longer interact with kdb if I got a crash after the "agetty" running on the same serial port was killed. This meant that various classes of crashes that happened at reboot time were undebuggable. Reading through the code, I couldn't figure out why qcom_geni_serial felt the need to run so much code at port shutdown time. All we need to do is disable the interrupt. After I make this change then a hardcoded kgdb_breakpoint in some late shutdown code now allows me to interact with the debugger. I also could freely close / re-open the port without problems.
