When a userspce opens a serial port the uart_startup (in serial_core)
function is executed which changes the uart_pm state to UART_PM_STATE_ON.
So when this port is release/closed by the application
uart_close(serial_core) changes the uart_pm state to UART_PM_STATE_OFF if
its not console. But it is not done in uart_shutdown function.

So ideally clk_prepare_enable/clk_disable_unprepare must be called in .pm
only. So, we can get rid of these operations from msm_startup function as
these will be called anyway using .pm ops.

About .pm in uart_ops, there are few drivers which have it for an example,
atmel_serial, sh-sci etc. That is where they do
clk_prepare_enable/clk_disable_unprepare. And moreover when there is
suspend across system these function will handled through .pm.
