And what about power management which was the reason for wanting this on OMAP in the first place; tty core never calls shutdown() for a console port, not even when it's been detached using the new interface.
That is interesting... Tony, do we have OMAP case working because of luck?
8250_omap won't do anything unless autosuspend_timeout is configured for the uart(s). If configured, then the 8250_omap will idle when console is detached and the PM runtime usage count held by console is decremented, and the configured autosuspend_timeout expires.
The console is still kept open by getty, so I don't see why shutdown() would be called for the console port. But maybe I don't follow what you're concerned about, let me know if you want me to check something :)

Tony
