Ilpo Järvinen 2bf95a9bcb serial: 8250: Fix 8250_rsa symbol loop
Depmod fails for a kernel made with:
  make allnoconfig
  echo -e "CONFIG_MODULES=y\nCONFIG_SERIAL_8250=m\nCONFIG_SERIAL_8250_EXTENDED=y\nCONFIG_SERIAL_8250_RSA=y" >> .config
  make olddefconfig

...due to a dependency loop:

  depmod: ERROR: Cycle detected: 8250 -> 8250_base -> 8250
  depmod: ERROR: Found 2 modules in dependency cycles!

This is caused by the move of 8250 RSA code from 8250_port.c (in
8250_base.ko) into 8250_rsa.c (in 8250.ko) by the commit 5a128fb475
("serial: 8250: move RSA functions to 8250_rsa.c"). The commit
b20d6576cd ("serial: 8250: export RSA functions") tried to fix a
missing symbol issue with EXPORTs but those then cause this dependency
cycle.

Break dependency loop by moving 8250_rsa.o from 8250.ko to 8250_base.ko
and by passing univ8250_port_base_ops to univ8250_rsa_support() that
can make a local copy of it.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
