This entry will always set SH_STANDARD_BIOS to 'n', and a line reading
    # CONFIG_SH_STANDARD_BIOS is not set

will always be included in the generated .config for h8300. But for the
three lines in drivers/tty/serial/sh-sci.c reading
    #ifdef CONFIG_SH_STANDARD_BIOS
            sh_bios_gdb_detach();
    #endif

that line has no effect. Even if there's no entry for SH_STANDARD_BIOS
the preprocessor will still remove that call of sh_bios_gdb_detach().
