Sure if the serial driver can manage TX wake directly. However, the case I'm thinking needs few hundred milliseconds after toggling the GPIO before we can even attempt to do TX. I guess what I'm saying let's not try to stuff any "application specific" GPIO handling to generic UART code :) > But either way, the mechanism introduced by this patch is general enough > that it could in principle be used also for something like that. Yes I agree your patches should work for both cases.
