I was simplifying the situation in the patch description: When CONFIG_SERIAL_8250=m,
Kbuild does not actually descend into drivers/tty/serial/8250/ while building
built-in code, so none of the built-in subdrivers actually get built.

After spotting the problem, I was building with this patch that I considered
submitting:

diff --git a/drivers/tty/serial/Makefile b/drivers/tty/serial/Makefile
index ceba33c4ebb4..28121885e78e 100644
--- a/drivers/tty/serial/Makefile
+++ b/drivers/tty/serial/Makefile
@@ -18,7 +18,7 @@ obj-$(CONFIG_SERIAL_SUNSU) += sunsu.o
 obj-$(CONFIG_SERIAL_SUNSAB) += sunsab.o
 
 # Now bring in any enabled 8250/16450/16550 type drivers.
-obj-$(CONFIG_SERIAL_8250) += 8250/
+obj-y += 8250/
 
 obj-$(CONFIG_SERIAL_AMBA_PL010) += amba-pl010.o
 obj-$(CONFIG_SERIAL_AMBA_PL011) += amba-pl011.o

However, after the other problems are fixed, it's not actually needed
any more, so I did not submit it.
