I just mean when someone selects CONFIG_X86_INTEL_QUARK that, that
kconfig option will select CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_LPSS automatically.

Maybe that's a bad idea .. I can't think of another driver that would
be selected like that - though OTOH now that we're moving our perfectly
normal PCI device into this LPSS shim my *feeling* is that it should be
selected automagically.

Feel free not to do that though - so long as you document the change in
kconfig so that a casual reader understands the entry is moved I think
it should suffice.
