The 8250_mtk driver's runtime PM support has some issues:
- The bus clock is enabled (through runtime PM callback) later than a
register write
- runtime PM resume callback directly called in probe, but no
pm_runtime_set_active() call is present
- UART PM function calls the callbacks directly, _and_ calls runtime
PM API
- runtime PM callbacks try to do reference counting, adding yet another
count between runtime PM and clocks
This fragile setup worked in a way, but broke recently with runtime PM
support added to the serial core. The system would hang when the UART
console was probed and brought up.
Tony provided some potential fixes [1][2], though they were still a bit
complicated. The 8250_dw driver, which the 8250_mtk driver might have
been based on, has a similar structure but simpler runtime PM usage.
Simplify clock sequencing and runtime PM support in the 8250_mtk driver.
Specifically, the clock is acquired enabled and assumed to be active,
unless toggled through runtime PM suspend/resume. Reference counting is
removed and left to the runtime PM core. The serial pm function now
only calls the runtime PM API.

You're both cleaning this up and solving a critical issue and I completely agree
about doing that.
I can imagine what actually fixes the driver, but still, is it possible to split
this commit in two?
One that solves the issue, one that performs the much needed cleanups.
If it's not possible, then we can leave this commit as it is... and if the problem
about splitting is the Fixes tag... well, we don't forcefully need it: after all,
issues started arising after runtime PM support for 8250 landed and before that the
driver technically worked, even though it was fragile.
Thanks,
Angelo

The pure fix would look like what Tony posted [1]. However it would add stuff
that isn't strictly needed after the cleanup. Doing it in one patch results
in less churn. Think of it another way: it's a nice cleanup that just so
happens to fix a regression.
As for the fixes tag, it's there so other people potentially doing backports
of the 8250 runtime PM work can spot this followup fix.

Tony's patch is recent enough to not have progressed beyond tty-next so
fixing it shouldn't really require paying that much attention to stable
rules wrt. Fixes tag and minimality.
As the target currently is tty-next, a cleanup which also happens to fix
the issue seems perfectly fine.

The Fixes: tag is relevant here, please don't dissuade people from using
them.

Not including Fixes tag was definitely among the things I tried to
say.
What I meant was that this patch, given the current time frame,
likely gets included within the same "next cycle". So it fixes the issue
even before the commit it fixes ends up into any rc not to speak of
stables. As such, stable kernel rules don't seem relevant.
So creating a "fix patch" with extra stuff just for the sake of it and
then removing the extra stuff away in the cleanup change seems unnecessary
to me as the cleanup itself would fix the same issue. I'm not even sure if
it's proper to call this change a cleanup, it just takes a different
avenue to fix the problem by removing some complexity from old.
