The recently added uniphier 8250 port driver supports early console
probing, and it supports being built as a module, but the combination
of the two fails to link:

ERROR: "early_serial8250_setup" [drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_uniphier.ko] undefined!

Given that earlycon support in a loadable module makes no sense,
making that code conditional on 'MODULE' is a correct solution.

Fixes: b8d20e06eaad ("serial: 8250_uniphier: add earlycon support")

Good point. Adding the DT maintainers to Cc. Guys, any chance of you
picking up Masahiro's patch for 4.5?

It can't hurt to have both patches merged, so it would still be good
to have mine in the serial driver fixes, but we can live with either
of the two to fix the build.

I will if you can update the commit log with the details here about it
fixing an actual problem.
