Technically speaking this is not required. If both are enabled then the
Maikefile order says that 8250 one wins, the second is never probed.

If we choose to enable 8250_omap via defconfig then one might get supprised
that his console isn't working anymore since nothing says use ttySx
instead ttyOx.
This patch _tries_ to bring this to the users' attention by not showing
the serial-omap driver once the 8250 one is enabled. So the user might
choose to use the help text which says that this driver (8250_omap)
uses ttySx instead ttyOx.

This is my attempt to warn the defconfig user of the defconfig change
(which did not yet happen). Any suggestions?
