My kernel config has the following for serial console:
CONFIG_SERIAL_NONSTANDARD=3Dy
CONFIG_SERIAL_8250=3Dy
CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_PNP=3Dy
CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_CONSOLE=3Dy
CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_DMA=3Dy
CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_PCI=3Dy
CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_EXTENDED=3Dy
CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_MANY_PORTS=3Dy
CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_SHARE_IRQ=3Dy
CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_RSA=3Dy
CONFIG_SERIAL_CORE=3Dy
CONFIG_SERIAL_CORE_CONSOLE=3Dy
