This commit relies on an earlier commit which ensures that 8250 PNP probe
is done before legacy 8250 probe, else the Winbond CIR device will be 
claimed by the legacy 8250 driver rendering above commit useless.

commit 835d844d1a28efba81d5aca7385e24c29d3a6db2

    8250_pnp: do pnp probe before legacy probe
    
    We first probe the legacy serial ports and then check pnp. If there
    is a non-standard configuration then this might not work, also this
    change is needed so we can blacklist Winbond CIR based on PNP ID.
    
    For this to work the 8250_pnp driver must be merged into the 8250
    module.
