OK thanks for confirming it.

OK

Yes the above should work.

Hmm yeah you may need to also call pm_runtime_mark_last_busy() to
ensure the port gets idled later on. Not sure if PM runtime core does that for
you on returning -EBUSY, worth checking it :)
The PM runtime hierarchy will block the serial port controller driver from
suspending, so the port drivers won't runtime suspend.

On serial_port_runtime_suspend() the serial port controller will be active, so
you can call start_tx() directly.
