Maybe I overlooked something, but I fix that way the same issue today. What 
exactly doesn't work with select FW_LOADER?

$ grep FW ../a/moxa/.config
CONFIG_FW_LOADER=m
$ grep INTELL ../a/moxa/.config
CONFIG_MOXA_INTELLIO=y
$ vim drivers/char/Kconfig
<add select FW_LOADER to MOXA_INTELLIO>
$ make O=../a/moxa/ SUBARCH=i386 drivers/char/moxa.o
  GEN     /home/l/latest/a/moxa/Makefile
scripts/kconfig/conf -s arch/x86/Kconfig
