Perhaps extend this a bit to let the reader understand this is about
leaving the serial device's corresponding PM domain on.

A comment below - that doesn't need to stop this from being applied though.

As I indicated above, I don't mind this, but I also think this is a
rather generic problem that you are trying to solve here.

In principle, I think it should be the serial driver's responsibility
to check the console_suspend_enabled flag. Based upon that, it should
inform upper layers (genpd) that its device may need to stay powered
on during system suspend. Quite similar to how we deal with system
wakeups. To make this work we could do the following instead of
$subject patch.

1. The serial driver should call device_set_wakeup_path() (the name of
that function is a bit confusing in this regard, but let's discuss
that separately) in its ->suspend() callback.
2. Set the GENPD_FLAG_ACTIVE_WAKEUP (again the name is a bit confusing
in this regard) for the corresponding genpd provider.

In this way, genpd will keep the PM domain powered on during system suspend.
