what do you mean? Now in drivers/tty/serial/8250/Kconfig we have

config SERIAL_8250_CONSOLE
        bool "Console on 8250/16550 and compatible serial port"
        depends on SERIAL_8250=y
        select SERIAL_CORE_CONSOLE
        select SERIAL_EARLYCON

do you mean, we should not have that "select SERIAL_EARLYCON" ?
