Subject: parisc: Make 8250_gsc driver dependend on CONFIG_PARISC
From: Helge Deller <deller@xxxxxx>
commit e8a18e3f00f3ee8d07c17ab1ea3ad4df4a3b6fe0 upstream.
Although the name of the driver 8250_gsc.c suggests that it handles
only serial ports on the GSC bus, it does handle serial ports listed
in the parisc machine inventory as well, e.g. the serial ports in a
C8000 PCI-only workstation.
Change the dependency to CONFIG_PARISC, so that the driver gets included
in the kernel even if CONFIG_GSC isn't set.
