I re-did that part where the registers are restored. Mostly for that
reason to use function in runtime_resume() as in set_termios(). I think
that is cute :) _And_ if somebody changes here something and breaks it
then it doesn't work with and without runtime-pm. It looks like the
omap-serial doesn't restore the XON1 & XOFF1 registers.

While at it I made sure that it works as good as I could and that means:

core_pwrdm
(ON),OFF:182,RET:21,INA:131,ON:335,RET-LOGIC-OFF:0,RET-MEMBANK1-OFF:0,RET-MEMBANK2-OFF:0

The core off part with DMA looks like a no no:
I #if 0 the block in where it assigned up.dma. With this I hit
core-off. Step two was

|static void omap8250_update_scr(struct uart_8250_port *up,
|                 struct omap8250_priv *priv)
|{
|serial_out(up, UART_OMAP_SCR, priv->scr | OMAP_UART_SCR_DMAMODE_CTL);
|serial_out(up, UART_OMAP_SCR, priv->scr | OMAP_UART_SCR_DMAMODE_CTL |
OMAP_UART_SCR_DMAMODE_1);
|serial_out(up, UART_OMAP_SCR, priv->scr | |OMAP_UART_SCR_DMAMODE_CTL);
|serial_out(up, UART_OMAP_SCR, priv->scr);
|}

which means I just enable DMA mode in UART and disable it. No DMA
operations were performed.
With this change I see a lost character now and then which means the
UART-IP goes into off and loses its context. Good. However I don't see
core off anymore. This looks like a bug beyond my responsibilities :)

I added code to cancel & and start DMA transfers in runtime suspend
callbacks.
However core-off with DMA won't work. I think we could document this in
the binding document. What do you think?

You a right. I fixed it in the 8250-core code.
