The SERIAL_8250_FSL option is used to enable a workaround for a break-detection erratum for Freescale 16550 UARTs in the 8250 driver and is currently also used to enable support for ACPI enumeration. It is enabled on PPC, ARM and ARM64 whenever 8250 console support is enabled (since the quirk is needed for sysrq handling). Commit b1442c55ce89 ("serial: 8250: extend compile-test coverage") enabled compile testing of the code in question but did not provide a means to disable the option when COMPILE_TEST is enabled. Add a conditional input prompt instead so that SERIAL_8250_FSL is no longer enabled by default when compile testing while continuing to always enable the quirk for platforms that may need it.

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 Restructured Text 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.
