serial: SERIAL_8250_RUNTIME_UARTS must be <= SERIAL_8250_NR_UARTS

From: David Vrabel
Date: Mon Feb 06 2006 - 05:25:20 EST


If SERIAL_8250_RUNTIME_UARTS is > SERIAL_8250_NR_UARTS then more serial
ports are registered than we've allocated memory for. Prevent this by
limiting SERIAL_8250_RUNTIME_UARTS in the serial Kconfig.
