You're right about that, and it is a legitimate issue. But given the
fact that (PNP && !SERIAL_8250_PNP) should be relatively unusual, my
opinion is that it's not worth extra ifdefs in legacy_serial.c.
If you have to use any workarounds like "legacy_serial.force", I think
that's a bug, and I'll fix it.
Ok, I double-checked: the serial port is usable during boot with PNP
enabled, so no problem with dropping my patch.
