On NXP T1040, the UART is typically detected as 16550A_FSL64. After said
patch, it gets detected as plain 16550A and the Linux console is
completely garbled and missing characters.
So clearly, introducing the SERIAL_8250_16550A_VARIANTS config option
has broken many existing users because it has changed the default
behavior. Restore that by adding a 'default y' to this option. Users who
care about 20 ms shorter boot time can always disable it, but stop
wasting many debugging hours for people who don't care all that much.
Fixes: dc56ecb81a0a ("serial: 8250: Support disabling mdelay-filled probes of 16550A variants")

help
The 8250 driver can probe for many variants of the venerable 16550A
serial port. Doing so takes additional time at boot.
