Hi all,

Commit f7d2c0bbdb (serial: i.MX: evaluate linux,stdout-path property) adds a
call to add_preferred_console() into drivers/tty/serial/imx.c. The file can be
built as module, yet add_preferred_console() is not exported on any platform.
This is one reason why arm:allmodconfig fails to build on the upstream kernel.

What is the best solution ? Should imx.c not be buildable as module anymore ?
