We accidently met the issue that the bash prompt is not shown after the
previous command done and until the next input if there's only one CPU
(In our issue other CPUs are isolated by isolcpus=). Further analysis
shows it's because the port entering runtime suspend even if there's
still pending chars in the buffer and the pending chars will only be
processed in next device resuming. We are using amba-pl011 and the
problematic flow is like below:

Why do you do this change at all? If anything, __serial_port_busy() should be made to return a bool and not to return an error. Look how it is named -- returning EBUSY is sort of unexpected in my eyes. And if this needed to be done, it should have been in a separate patch anyway.

And then:
