Thanks for pointing this, I completely missed it.

But that debugging code is under "CONFIG_SAMSUNG_PM_DEBUG"
and SAMSUNG_PM_DEBUG selects DEBUG_LL also.
So the problem you stated below will their always when ever it will
enter that code

how about fixing this problem with something like below:
saving only mapped/configured UART's registers.

Yes, it will be helpful if we have it fixed.
