Yeah, just wanted to make sure I did select the right way of fixing the
issue.

Not exactly. tty_wakeup() will be called from gs_start_tx() only when
there has been something actually transferred from the buffer. I didn't
want to change behavior when the buffer is empty, so I kept the explicit
tty_wakeup() call in place, intentionally. Please let me know if you
still think it should be removed.

???
$ git co gregkh/tty-next && grep -r 'caller: start tty' .
HEAD is now at 7788f54... serial_core: Remove unused member in uart_port
