We want to enable runtime PM for serial port device drivers in a generic way. To do this, we want to have the serial core layer manage the registered physical serial controller devices. To manage serial controllers, let's set up a struct bus and struct device for the serial core controller as suggested by Greg and Jiri. The serial core controller devices are children of the physical serial port device. The serial core controller device is needed to support multiple different kind of ports connected to single physical serial port device. Let's also set up a struct device for the serial core port. The serial core port instances are children of the serial core controller device. With the serial core port device we can now flush pending TX on the runtime PM resume as suggested by Johan.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
