Hmm it could be that it works for a while because the clocks are on
from the bootloader and pm_runtime calls won't do anything. This
could happen if the interconnect data based on the ti,hwmods entry
is not getting matched to the new driver. This gets initialized when
the device entry gets created in omap_device_build_from_dt().

Or maybe something now affects the clock aliases? It seems that we
are still missing the clocks entries in the .dtsi files, see the
mappings with $ git grep uart drivers/clk/ti/
I've been looking for something completely different while I noticed
this:

in drivers/tty/serial/omap-serial.c
| static struct platform_driver serial_omap_driver = {
|         .driver         = {
|                 .name   = DRIVER_NAME,
|         },
| };
|

and DRIVER_NAME should come from include/linux/platform_data/serial-omap.h
Looking further, I've found arch/arm/mach-omap2/serial.c:
| void __init omap_serial_init_port(struct omap_board_data *bdata,
|                         struct omap_uart_port_info *info)
| {
|         char *name
?
|	name = DRIVER_NAME;
?
|	pdev = omap_device_build(name, uart->num, oh, pdata, pdata_size);
?
|

Would this explain it?
That would explain it for legacy booting, but not for device tree
based booting. I can try to debug it further on Monday.
Looks like the following is needed to avoid the error, no idea why..
But this is what we also do in omap-serial.c. It may be needed in
other places too?

Also, no luck yet on runtime PM. If the console is enabled omap won't
idle, and if no serial console is enabled, it just hangs. Will try
to debug this part further, it may be also related to the above.

Regards,

Tony
