uart_change_pm is used to turn on the UART controller resources and
change UART's PM status. On failure to allocate pages the controller
be left in ON state. This will change the state to OFF on failure.

Otherwise, you'll be powering off the console.

Agree. Should take care console is not disabled.

Just out of curiosity, did you actually hit this error?

No, I did not. I thought we should not be leaving port power enabled
in error case.

Thanks for review and comments.
