I don't think it can be sync version.. See where all __uart_start() may
get called from. The pm_runtime_get() here is needed so the check for
pm_runtime_active() won't be racy. Maybe we can now leave out the
"start TX anyways" part though.

Thanks for your other comments too, will fix up those for the next
revision.

Tony
