Yeah see commit 494574304711a333386e7dd5fd3ebbc3b7024994...

OK thanks, I'm seeing the same issue as you. And the idlest registers
don't show any blockers. Looking at the errata docs, seems like
"Usage Note 2.7" in sprz318f.pdf says:

 Details When configured for DMA operations using smartidle mode (SYSC[4:3].IDLEMODE =
 0x2), the UART module will not acknowledge incoming idle requests. As a consequence,
 it can prevent L4 from going to idle.
 When there are additional expected transfers, the UART should be placed in force-idle
 mode.

So I've added also Paul to Cc, he may have better suggestions for the
hwmod flags to use. The experimental patch below seems to allow idling
for me, care to give it a try?

Regards,

Tony

Subject: [PATCH] ARM: OMAP3: Use force-idle for UARTs because of DMA errata

In sprz318f.pdf Usage Note 2.7 says that UARTs cannot acknowledge
idle requests in smartidle mode when configure for DMA operations.
This prevents L4 from going idle. Sol et's use force-idle mode
instead.
