I just opened minicom on ttyS0 and gave a try. start_tx() was invoked
each time I pressed a key (sent a character). I haven't seen stop_tx()
even after after I closed minicom. I guess stop_tx() is invoked if you
switch half-duplex communication.

What do you have in mind? Do you plan to let the uart on while the
minicom is attached but is doing nothing? In that case, ->startup() and
->shutdown() should be enough.
If you want to put the uart off while the port is open but idle then
you should cover the callbacks as they are independent of each other.
You could receive three ->set_termios() even without a single
->start_tx(). And as far as I understand the whole situation, you need
to make sure the UART is "up" while you touch a single register not
only sending characters, right?
