serial_core: Add wake_peer uart operation
Add wake_peer which is called before starting UART TX. The idea here
is to provide a mechanism where we can wakeup our peer before sending
data.

This is one of the number of patches from the Android AOSP common.git tree,
which is used on almost all Android devices. I wanted to submit it for review
to see if it should go upstream.

Do you have a driver that uses this callback to submit? I really don't
like taking hooks that are not used in the tree, otherwise it usually
gets removed by someone who says, "look this hook isn't being used,
let's delete it!"
thanks,

Okay,let me check and resubmit the patch which uses the callback in driver.
Thanks for the review comments.

Can we please document the locking and call semantics for this - eg what
stop the peer going back to sleep as this call is made ? when does the
peer go back to sleep ? how does the peer decide to go back to sleep ?
Who sets wake_peer, when may it be set, why is it a uart_op when it's
likely to be per port and really ought to be a bit more dynamic ?
It's probably obvious to Android folks, but the rules are not afaik
written down anywhere in kernel land.
Also I guess why is the power management framework not appropriate for
this should also be answered.
I'm less worried about users - there are a lot of GPL out of tree drivers
using it, and several in tree ones with patches you add for Android use
which exist solely to fix up wake peer and the old wakelocks.
