One technical correction on this section -- rather, the CORE* clockdomains 
will not be allowed to go idle when the PM runtime autosuspend timeout is 
-1.  And that is what causes the character loss.  The rest of the E-mail 
stands.

The question of whether the UART should be allowed to enter idle is a 
different one, since the current driver is not properly working in this 
regard, which is why we're not getting RX timeout events, etc.  We should 
be able to have the proper RX timeout behavior, and therefore use normal 
FIFO thresholds, by fixing some of the bugs in the existing driver.
