[PATCH 0/5] tty: serial: sh-sci: Hide driver specific config questions

[Geert Uytterhoeven <geert+renesas@glider.be>]

	Hi Greg, Simon, Magnus, Sato-san, Rich,

The Renesas (H)SCI(F) driver has several driver-specific config options.
This may confuse users, and leads to inefficient testing and development.
E.g. recently a regression was introduced in SCIF DMA support, and
someone didn't see early con output, both due to the relevant options
being accidentally disabled.

This patch series is an attempt to stop bothering (H)SCI(F) users with
several config questions, while providing sensible defaults for these
options, based on the target platform.  The defaults can still be
overridden if CONFIG_EXPERT is enabled.

The last patch updates shmobile_defconfig to take into account the
defaults.  It is marked RFC, as it depends on the first 4 patches to be
effective, and to avoid feature regressions.

Thanks for your comments!
