This seems to resolve the build issue for me: -- From: =?UTF-8?q?Ilpo=20J=C3=A4rvinen?= Subject: [PATCH 1/1] serial: 8250: Fix 8250_rsa symbol loop make allmodconfig build fails due to dependency loop: depmod: ERROR: Cycle detected: 8250 -> 8250_base -> 8250 depmod: ERROR: Found 2 modules in dependency cycles! Break dependency loop by moving 8250_rsa.o into 8250_base and by passing univ8250_port_base_ops to univ8250_rsa_support() that can make a local copy of it.
