Tony/Paul,

I just posted the v3 of these out [1] based off 3.10-rc1. Can we pull these in into -rc since
these actually fix the console sluggishness introduced in this merge window (we always had issues
with UART sidle handling with DT but never saw issues in mainline because of some static deps which got
removed this merge window  I guess which would otherwise hide the issue).

regards,
Rajendra
