Hi Paul,

The Kconfig currently controlling compilation of this code is:

8250/Kconfig:config SERIAL_8250_LPC18XX
8250/Kconfig:        bool "NXP LPC18xx/43xx serial port support"

...meaning that it currently is not being built as a module by anyone.

Lets remove the modular code that is essentially orphaned, so that
when reading the driver there is no doubt it is builtin-only.

The bool in KConfig is more or less a copy-paste mistake on my side. I
really meant for this driver to be buildable as module and it builds
just fine with 'm'.

Want me send a patch changing it to tristate or will you handle it?

I will do a v2 in the next day or so with collected ACKs and this patch
replaced, unless Greg jumps in and indicates he'd like something
different.

Nope, that would be fine with me, thanks.
