Oh but mtk8250_runtime_suspend() calls serial_in(up, MTK_UART_DEBUG0), so yeah if that gets called before registration is complete it causes a NULL pointer exception. If the serial_ctrl and serial_port devices do runtime suspend before port registration completes, things will fail. Sounds like doing pm_runtime_resume_and_get() in mtk8250_probe() might fix the issue. Still seems that adding a custom read function for mtk8250_runtime_suspend() to use instead of calling serial_in() should not be needed. An experimental untested patch below, maye it helps?
