Am I misunderstanding something? The commit didn't cause the driver to
be in a useless state for 8250=m. But rather isn't that it was a
pre-existing condition, independent of the change to 8250_mtk.c to
remove the dead code in d72d391c126e?

Since the commit did not touch Kconfig or Makefile, I can't see how it
could cause some new useless state that did not already exist, and hence
the "Fixes:" tag is invalid as well.

Paul.
