Yes, that's true. Kconfig should automatically turn on SERIAL_8250_PNP
if PNP and SERIAL_8250 are selected, but it does give you a choice if
you have EMBEDDED set. So I guess you must have this:
CONFIG_EMBEDDED=y
CONFIG_PNP=y
CONFIG_SERIAL_8250=y
CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_PNP=n
Why do you want PNP support, but not 8250_PNP support? If you turn off
PNP completely, you will have "pnp_platform_devices == 0", and the
existing code will do what you need.
