COM port goes to sleep and doesn't wake up

No, it's a bug in the OEM implementation of the serial driver, not the OS.
CE provides the APIs for the serial port, but they can't be reasonably
expected to provide an interface for every possible serial UART in existence
or to be in existence through the life of the OS. It's up to the OEM to
write that, and handling the UART sleep/wake is part of that process.
