This patch makes serdev compiled into the kernel if selected so that config SERIAL_DEV_CTRL_TTYPORT can be correctly set if requiring ACPI support.

The Bluetooth UART drivers already depend on on SERIAL_DEV_BUS (through
BT_HCIUART_SERDEV). And the problem with BT_HCIUART_BCM is that the
current ACPI devices really need SERIAL_DEV_CTRL_TTYPORT (and not just
serdev core).

And we should probably try to avoid selecting options if we can (to
avoid ending up with unmet dependencies).
