+Subject: serial: sh-sci: Increment the runtime usage counter for the earlycon device
+
+From: Claudiu Beznea <claudiu.beznea.uj@bp.renesas.com>
+
+commit 651dee03696e1dfde6d9a7e8664bbdcd9a10ea7f upstream.
+
+In the sh-sci driver, serial ports are mapped to the sci_ports[] array,
+with earlycon mapped at index zero.
+
+The uart_add_one_port() function eventually calls __device_attach(),
+which, in turn, calls pm_request_idle(). The identified code path is as
+follows:
+
+uart_add_one_port() ->
+ serial_ctrl_register_port() ->
+ serial_core_register_port() ->
+ serial_core_port_device_add() ->
+ serial_base_port_add() ->
+ device_add() ->
+ bus_probe_device() ->
+ device_initial_probe() ->
+ __device_attach() ->
+ // ...
+ if (dev->p->dead) {
+ // ...
+ } else if (dev->driver) {
+ // ...
+ } else {
+ // ...
+ pm_request_idle(dev);
+ // ...
+ }
+
+The earlycon device clocks are enabled by the bootloader. However, the
+pm_request_idle() call in __device_attach() disables the SCI port clocks
+while earlycon is still active.
+
+The earlycon write function, serial_console_write(), calls
+sci_poll_put_char() via serial_console_putchar(). If the SCI port clocks
+are disabled, writing to earlycon may sometimes cause the SR.TDFE bit to
+remain unset indefinitely, causing the while loop in sci_poll_put_char()
+to never exit. On single-core SoCs, this can result in the system being
+blocked during boot when this issue occurs.
+
+To resolve this, increment the runtime PM usage counter for the earlycon
+SCI device before registering the UART port.
