From: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert+renesas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> When a serial port is closed, uart_close() takes care of shutting down the hardware, and powering it down. When a serial port is unbound while in use, uart_close() bypasses all of this, as this is supposed to be done through uart_hangup() (invoked via tty_vhangup() in uart_remove_one_port()). However, uart_hangup() does not set the hardware's power state, leaving it powered up. This may also lead to unbounded nesting counts in clock and power management, depending on their internal implementation. Make sure to power down the port in uart_hangup(), except when the port is used as a serial console. For serial consoles, this must be postponed until after their deregistration in uart_remove_one_port() (symmetry with registration in uart_configure_port(), invoked from uart_add_one_port()). After this, the module clock used by the sh-sci driver is disabled on unbind while the serial port is in use.
