This would be additional protection, need to check if that is too much to do or would be good to go.

I think, with the above, there would need a configuration change for sure.
It should be okay, as I2C is default Y.

Swap names would need Makefile changes, i was just thinking to avoid this.
obj-$(CONFIG_SERIAL_SC16IS7XX) += sc16is7xx.o
would be 
obj-$(CONFIG_SERIAL_SC16IS7XX_SELECT) += sc16is7xx.o

I think its some that need not be there. Do suggest..

Thanks
