Hi Songjun,

"#ifdef CONFIG_LANTIQ" preprocessor is used because LTQ_EARLY_ASC
macro is defined in lantiq_soc.h.
lantiq_soc.h is in arch path for legacy product support.

arch/mips/include/asm/mach-lantiq/xway/lantiq_soc.h

If "#ifdef preprocessor" is changed to
"if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_LANTIQ))", when CONFIG_LANTIQ is not enabled,
code using LTQ_EARLY_ASC is compiled.
Compilation will fail for no LTQ_EARLY_ASC defined.

Please note that not providing a fallback here makes life harder when using
DT overlays.
See the description of commit 7678f4c20fa7670f ("serial: sh-sci: Add support
for dynamic instances") for background info.
Thanks for your comment.
The logic in commit 7678f4c20fa7670f is not suitable here.
We need to know which serial instance is used for console.
We cannot use dynamic serial instance here.
