Looks like the following is needed to avoid the error, no idea why..
But this is what we also do in omap-serial.c. It may be needed in
other places too?

Also, no luck yet on runtime PM. If the console is enabled omap won't
idle, and if no serial console is enabled, it just hangs. Will try
to debug this part further, it may be also related to the above.

Regards,

Tony
