Thanks for your patch, which is now commit d49216438139bca0
("serial: sc16is7xx: split into core and I2C/SPI parts (core)")
in tty-next (next-20240415 and later).

Hence this replaces SERIAL_SC16IS7XX_CORE by SERIAL_SC16IS7XX,
so arch/mips/configs/cu1??0-neo_defconfig needs to updated.

So if SPI_MASTER or I2C is enabled, the corresponding SERIAL_SC16IS7XX_*
subdriver can no longer be disabled?  According to
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240403123501.8ef5c99f65a40ca2c10f635a@hugovil=
com/
you did want to support that?
