Hi Alexy,
Thank you for update.

A deadlock is observed in the qcom_geni_serial driver during runtime
resume. This occurs when the pinctrl subsystem reconfigures device pins
via msm_pinmux_set_mux() while the serial device's interrupt is an
active wakeup source. msm_pinmux_set_mux() calls disable_irq() or
__synchronize_irq(), conflicting with the active wakeup state and
causing the IRQ thread to enter an uninterruptible (D-state) sleep,
leading to system instability.
The critical call trace leading to the deadlock is:

To resolve this, explicitly manage the wakeup IRQ state within the
runtime suspend/resume callbacks. In the runtime resume callback, call
disable_irq_wake() before enabling resources. This preemptively
removes the "wakeup" capability from the IRQ, allowing subsequent
interrupt management calls to proceed without conflict. An error path
re-enables the wakeup IRQ if resource enablement fails.
Conversely, in runtime suspend, call enable_irq_wake() after resources
are disabled. This ensures the interrupt is configured as a wakeup
source only once the device has fully entered its low-power state. An
error path handles disabling the wakeup IRQ if the suspend operation
fails.

Also, not sure where this change will go, via Greg or Jiri, but ideally
this should be picked for current -rc cycle since regression is
introduced during latest merge window.
I also would like to test it on qrb2210 rb1 where this regression is
reproduciable.
It doesn't seem that it fixes the regression on RB1 board:

I can see call stack is mostly similar for yours and mine but not completely at initial calls.

Can you please share what is DT file for this Board if possible?
is there any usecase enabled on this SE instance?

I see exactly the same behaviour with this changes applied.
root@rb1:~# uname -a
Linux rb1 6.17.0-rc5-00018-g9dd1835ecda5-dirty #13 SMP PREEMPT Tue Sep 9 20:14:22 BST 2025 aarch64 GNU/Linux
I see the same behaviour with linux-next but my local tree is a bit old,
maybe there are some dependencies.
Best regards,
