I think an easier way to do this would be to remove the
'select SERIAL_8250', I don't think that is actually a compile-time
dependency, just something that you normally want to enable
to make the device useful.

I would also suggest removing all the 'imply' statements, they
usually don't do what the original author intended anyway.
If there is a compile-time dependency with those drivers,
it should be 'depends on', otherwise they can normally be
left out.
