Maciej W. Rozycki d98dd16d3d serial: 8250: Export ICR access helpers for internal use
[ Upstream commit cb5a40e314 ]

Make ICR access helpers available outside 8250_port.c, however retain
them as ordinary static functions so as not to regress code generation.

This is because `serial_icr_write' is currently automatically inlined by
GCC, however `serial_icr_read' is not.  Making them both static inline
would grow code produced, e.g.:

$ i386-linux-gnu-size --format=gnu 8250_port-{old,new}.o
      text       data        bss      total filename
     15065       3378          0      18443 8250_port-old.o
     15289       3378          0      18667 8250_port-new.o

and:

$ riscv64-linux-gnu-size --format=gnu 8250_port-{old,new}.o
      text       data        bss      total filename
     16980       5306          0      22286 8250_port-old.o
     17124       5306          0      22430 8250_port-new.o

while making them external would needlessly add a new module interface
and lose the benefit from `serial_icr_write' getting inlined outside
8250_port.o.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
