Nice, now it mostly works for me with off-idle too :) That is as long
as I have the DMA channels commented out in the .dts file.

And I'm still seeing an occasional hang with pstore console just
showing:

Which most likely means there's still some glitch with the
runtime PM somewhere and registers are being accessed when
not clocked. I _think_ I did not see it when I did not have
console=ttyS2,115200 in my cmdline but was using just pstore
console.

That's still not going to help with the existing kernel cmdlines
and existing installs.. I wonder if we can just do a minimal
dummy serial-omap.c that just proxies all the ttyO read/write
access to ttyS?
