Ah right, I was too quick: 8250_of.o uses fsl8250_handle_irq() from 8250_fsl.o 8250_fsl.o uses serial8250_modem_status() from 8250_port.o (which is in 8250_base.o) However linking 8250_fsl.o in 8250_of.o isn't a good solution either as 8250_fsl.o should also be available with CONFIG_SERIAL_OF_PLATFORM disabled to provide the ACPI driver. And as 8250_of.o already depends on 8250_port.o (e.g. via serial8250_em485_config()) adding 8250_fsl.o together with 8250_port.o into 8250_base.ko is fine and doesn't add new dependencies.
