No, sorry. This is just putting another band-aid on this broken mess (I
never realised it was this bad).
As others have apparently already pointed out in the past, there are
paths that will end up calling sleeping pm_runtime_get_sync() in atomic
context (e.g serial8250_stop_tx()).
In other places this all seems to work mostly by chance by relying on
autosuspend keeping the clocks enabled long enough to not hit broken
paths (e.g. serial8250_do_set_mctrl()) which fail to enable clocks.
Note that uart_port_dtr_rts() is called from other paths, for example on
close and hangup, which would now fail to lower DTR/RTS as expected (it
still appears to work mostly by chance since there's later call in
serial8250_do_shutdown() which updates MCR to clear TIOCM_OUT2).
There's shouldn't be anything fundamental preventing you from adding the
missing resume calls to the mctrl paths even if it may require reworking
(and fixing) the whole RPM implementation (which would be a good thing
of course).
