Yeah I'm not following really what's going on there.. So then I guess the
call for mtk8250_write(data, 0, MTK_UART_RATE_FIX) should be after the
pm_runtime_resume_and_get() call.

Maybe try changing pm_runtime_put_sync() at the end of the probe to just
pm_runtime_put_noidle()? Then the driver should be back to where it was
with clocks enabled but runtime PM suspended.

I don't think you need UART_CAP_RPM right now unless 8250_mtk adds support
for autosuspend. That stuff will get replaced by the serial_core generic
PM patch from Andy. I think in it's current form 8250_mtk just gets enabled
when the port is opened, and disabled when the port is closed. And gets
disabled for system suspend.
