I think "Runtime PM usage count underflow!" is not related to the probe
problem you're seeing. Nonetheless, this patch might solve the underflow:
--
[PATCH 1/1] tty: serial: 8250: Fix another runtime PM usage counter underflow
The commit f9b11229b79c ("serial: 8250: Fix PM usage_count for console
handover") fixed one runtime PM usage counter balance problem that
occurs because .dev is not set during univ8250 setup preventing call to
pm_runtime_get_sync(). Later, univ8250_console_exit() will trigger the
runtime PM usage counter underflow as .dev is already set at that time.
Call pm_runtime_get_sync() to balance the RPM usage counter also in
serial8250_register_8250_port() before trying to add the port.
