[4.3-rc1 regression] modular 8250 doesn't load

[Mikael Pettersson]

I have CONFIG_SERIAL_8250=m.  With 4.2 '/sbin/modprobe 8250' worked
and resulted in:

[   41.354550] Serial: 8250/16550 driver, 4 ports, IRQ sharing disabled
[   41.375156] serial8250: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4, base_baud = 115200) is a 16550A

With 4.3-rc1 however the command fails and logs the following:

[   34.140300] 8250_base: module license 'unspecified' taints kernel.
[   34.141846] Disabling lock debugging due to kernel taint
