[PATCH v7 7/8] serial: qcom-geni: Enable PM runtime for serial driver

From: Praveen Talari
Date: Mon Jul 21 2025 - 13:48:44 EST


The GENI serial driver currently handles power resource management
through calls to the statically defined geni_serial_resources_on() and
geni_serial_resources_off() functions. This approach reduces modularity
and limits support for platforms with diverse power management
mechanisms, including resource managed by firmware.

Improve modularity and enable better integration with platform-specific
power management, introduce support for runtime PM. Use
pm_runtime_resume_and_get() and pm_runtime_put_sync() within the
qcom_geni_serial_pm() callback to control resource power state
transitions based on UART power state changes.

v6 -> v7
>From Bjorn:
- used devm_pm_runtime_enable() instead of pm_runtime_enable()
- updated commit text.

v5 -> v6
- added reviewed-by tag in commit
- added __maybe_unused to PM callback functions to avoid
warnings of defined but not used
