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.

Since module_platform_driver() uses the same init level priority as
builtin_platform_driver() the init ordering remains unchanged with
this commit.

Also note that MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE is a no-op for non-modular code.

We leave some tags like MODULE_AUTHOR for documentation purposes.

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.

Paul.

Nope, that would be fine with me, thanks.
