Multiple boot failures on ARM[1] were bisected down to this patch.

How was this patch tested, and on which platforms?

Also, the changelog states that this should be done only for
UART_CAP_SLEEP, but the patch does it for every UART.

Greg, I suggest this patch be dropped from tty-next until it has been
better described and tested.
