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 5a128fb475fb
("serial: 8250: move RSA functions to 8250_rsa.c"). The commit
b20d6576cdb3 ("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.
