Technically speaking this is not required. If both are enabled then the Maikefile order says that 8250 one wins, the second is never probed. If we choose to enable 8250_omap via defconfig then one might get supprised that his console isn't working anymore since nothing says use ttySx instead ttyOx. This patch _tries_ to bring this to the users' attention by not showing the serial-omap driver once the 8250 one is enabled. So the user might choose to use the help text which says that this driver (8250_omap) uses ttySx instead ttyOx.
