I looked at these again and noticed that this is just being misreported
by the linker. I don't know exactly what happens here but I see it a lot:
the function names ("mtk8250_set_termios") are all correct, but the file
names ("8250_ingenic.c") are wrong. I normally edit out the file names
manually but forgot that here. I'll fix it up when resending.
