[v1,2/2] serial: 8250: Extract platform driver

Extract platform driver to a separate module for better maintenance
and to reduce churn on 8250_core part changes when it's solely related
to the former. No functional changes intended.

Hi Andy,

Many thanks for helping with this!. Just few questions below for my
understanding.

Not related to the change. But..
How is this supposed to work? When serial8250_init creates this ISA
platform device, it doesn't add any platdata. In that case, entire loop
below appears dead code to me. Am I missing something?

Should this be 8250_platform or keeping it same for compatibility reason?

Curious to know why this is split?

You are welcome! Meanwhile, can you test these changes?

Yes, you are. Here is the answer:
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/C/ident/plat_serial8250_port

I.o.w. it depends on the platform and actual drivers that instantiate the
serial8250 platform device. You found only one case for which it's a dead
code, but not for many others.

No. The module name is still 8250_core if you carefully check the Makefile.

The line

obj-$(X) += foo.o bar.o

means that if X=m, the foo and bar will be separate modules. Since we have a
few object files per each of them it's better to split them in Makefile in
order to have better readability and maintenance. It's pure done for these
purposes.

Thank you, but I would prefer Tested-by as it is kinda intrusive change.
I tested it on Intel hardware but it might have (hidden) issues on other
setups.
