[PATCHv5 0/3] Serial fixes

[Sourav Poddar]

Hi,

This patch series contains fixes around the issue that
the console UART should not idled on suspend while using 
"no_console_suspend" in bootargs.

The approach thought of is to modify the serial core/serial driver to bypass
runtime PM if the UART in contention is a console and we are using "no_console_suspend"
in our bootargs.

There were discussions about how to handle "no_idle_on_suspend" issue and all the
discussions are as follows:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/4/5/239
https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/4/2/350
https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/3/18/199
https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/3/18/295
Due to the amount of change in approach, I am posting
this as a new series.

v4->v5
1. Add comments
2. Formatting.

v3->v4
1. check for console in runtime api.

v2->v3
1. Use "-EBUSY" for no_console_suspend case
2. Bypass runtime PM only during suspend
3. Improve the commit log based on community suggestion.

v1->v2
1. Remove the prepare/complete callback.
2. Adapt runtime PM callback to deal with the issue.
3. Fold patch(1,2) of previous series into 1.
4. Reordered the patch.
5. Change $subject and chage log for few patches.

- Tested wakeup from UART after suspend for dt case.

These patches were the part of the bigger series[1]. Breaking them into
two relevant series as they go through the different tree.
