But this is due to d72d391c126e0ffd3047c06c4bef4d795853d5d5. So again, I'm not sure what this achives vs. just making it depend on having SERIAL_8250=y as a trivial fix for the one build issue. If you really see a use case for tristate, then the above should be reverted before adding your conversion to tristate I think.
