Most people will say Y or M here, so that they can use serial mice,
modems and similar devices connecting to the standard serial ports.
+config SERIAL_8250_DEPRECATED_OPTIONS

+ default y
+ ---help---
+ In 3.7 we renamed 8250 to 8250_core by mistake, so now we have to
+ accept kernel parameters in both forms like 8250_core.nr_uarts=4 and
+ 8250.nr_uarts=4. We now renamed the module back to 8250, but if
+ anybody noticed in 3.7 and changed their userspace we still have to
+ keep the 8350_core.* options around until they revert the changes
+ they already did.
+
+ If 8250 is built as a module, this adds 8250_core alias instead.
+
+ If you did not notice yet and/or you have userspace from pre-3.7, it
+ is safe (and recommended) to say N here.
