Hmm well what we've used earlier is to set something like set_power
function pointer in the platform data, then call that in the driver
if set. But in this case the driver is 8250.c, so let's not mess
with that..

This issue should get properly solved with the omap specific serial
driver once we get that merged as then we can have hooks for set_power
in addition to cutting serial clocks when idle.

Yeah. Can you take a look at the omap specific serial driver to get
it working on omap1?

Then you can have your GPIO functions set in the board-*.c file
as set_power or similar, and the UART driver can idle properly.
