[PATCH v2] serial: xilinx_uartps: fix runtime PM race during probe

From: Radhey Shyam Pandey

Date: Mon Nov 09 2026 - 02:19:50 EST


From: Shubhrajyoti Datta <shubhrajyoti.datta@xxxxxxx>

pm_runtime_enable() was called with usage_count=0, allowing the PM
core to immediately queue a deferred suspend via pm_runtime_work.
This raced with console write, causing cdns_runtime_suspend to
fire before the port was fully registered.

Hold a reference with pm_runtime_get_noresume() before enabling
runtime PM.
