I tried this with:
commit 2178cbc68f3602dc0b5949b9be2c8383ad3d93ef

$ grep 8250 .config
CONFIG_SERIAL_8250=m
# CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_DEPRECATED_OPTIONS is not set
CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_PCI=m
CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_NR_UARTS=4
CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_RUNTIME_UARTS=4
# CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_EXTENDED is not set
# CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_DW is not set
# CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_RT288X is not set
CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_MT6577=y
# CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_INGENIC is not set
# CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_MID is not set

$ make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- drivers/tty/

compiles just fine.

Do I missing something?

Matthias
