As Tony mentioned, you're off the hook for it.

I should've been more clear. After reverting the top three patches in
drivers/tty/serial from next-20230602, the system booted correctly again:

    539914240a01 serial: core: Fix probing serial_base_bus devices
    d0a396083e91 serial: core: Don't drop port_mutex in
serial_core_remove_one_port
    84a9582fd203 serial: core: Start managing serial controllers to
enable runtime PM
