That was what I thought looking (obviously too) briefly through this.

Most errors from usb_autopm_get_interface_async will be translated to
EIO before being returned by serial_write.  I believe the userspace
application should deal with that.  But maybe it just gives up?  Should
we return EAGAIN or something instead?

I don't know.  I am pretty clueless about these things...

But looking again, trying to guess why it works fine if you just ignore
the error. I believe that is because you then end up hitting this until
the interface is fully resumed:

		if (intfdata->suspended) {
			usb_anchor_urb(this_urb, &portdata->delayed);
			spin_unlock_irqrestore(&intfdata->susp_lock, flags);
                }

Yes, that makes pm_runtime_get() return -EACCES.

I am way out of my league here, but I wonder if pm_runtime_get()
shouldn't return -EINPROGRESS instead if there is a queued resume
request or an ongoing resume, regardless of disable_depth?

Maybe something like the completely untested:

diff --git a/drivers/base/power/runtime.c b/drivers/base/power/runtime.c
index 3148b10..38e19ba 100644
--- a/drivers/base/power/runtime.c

usb_autopm_get_interface_async() will interprete EINPROGRESS as success,
so that would prevent this problem.
