Hello,
Some weeks ago I saw this compile error posted to lkml:

---
> LD .tmp_vmlinux1
> drivers/built-in.o(.text+0x435e1): In function `ibmasm_register_uart':
> : undefined reference to `register_serial'
> drivers/built-in.o(.text+0x43649): In function `ibmasm_unregister_uart':
> : undefined reference to `unregister_serial'
> make: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 1

This was created because ibmasm was set to yes BUT the 8250 was a
