Hi Arnd,


2016-02-12 0:41 GMT+09:00 Arnd Bergmann <arnd@...db.de>:
> The Ingenic 8250 driver has a 'bool' Kconfig symbol, but that
> breaks when SERIAL_8250 is a loadable module:
>
> drivers/tty/built-in.o: In function `ingenic_uart_probe':
> 8250_ingenic.c:(.text+0x1c1a0): undefined reference to `serial8250_register_8250_port'

> This changes the symbol to a 'tristate', plus a dependency on

The same comment applies here as 5/6.
