Well it used to work at least for 5912OSK. Maybe grep for 
CONFIG_OMAP_SERIAL_WAKE.

That means you still have to have the functional clock for the UART
on, which will block omap retention. So using the async GPIO wake-up
events will be better.

See CONFIG_OMAP_SERIAL_WAKE.

No problem, if you get it working on 2430, please send patches :)

BTW, I never got the 2420 serial wake events to work, maybe they
need separate interrupt handlers registered. But the GPIO trick
should still work even if the serial wake-up events won't work.
