[PATCH/RFC] serial_core: Fix pm imbalance on unbind

[Geert Uytterhoeven]

From: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert+renesas@linux-m68k.org>

When a serial port is closed, uart_close() takes care of shutting down the
hardware, and powering it down.

When a serial port is unbound while in use, uart_close() bypasses all of
this, as this is supposed to be done through uart_hangup() (invoked via
tty_vhangup() in uart_remove_one_port()).

However, uart_hangup() does not set the hardware's power state, leaving it
powered up.  This may also lead to unbounded nesting counts in clock and
power management, depending on their internal implementation.

Make sure to power down the port in uart_hangup(), except when the port is
used as a serial console. For serial consoles, this must be postponed until
after their deregistration in uart_remove_one_port() (symmetry with
registration in uart_configure_port(), invoked from uart_add_one_port()).

After this, the module clock used by the sh-sci driver is disabled on
unbind while the serial port is in use.

I noticed you have applied all serial patches I've sent, except for this one.
Is there any specific reason you skipped this one?

Thanks!

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,

It was marked "RFC" so I didn't think it was to be applied...

If it's ready, please resend.

thanks,
