From: Jonathan McDowell <noodles@xxxxxxxx>
The split of the 8250 driver into a 8250_base/8250.ko resulted in a
lack of a license for the 8250_base.ko module. This caused the module
to fail to load and the kernel to be tainted. Add the appropriate
MODULE_LICENSE to 8250_port.c, which is always compiled into
8250_base.ko
