In kernel 5.8, this symbol was changed to default to on on !x86, as some embedded devices still use 16650A variants. Let's play safe here and enable this symbol in the generic config, to avoid others from running into this problem and having to spend several hours trying to bisect this problem. While we could disable the symbol in the x86 target configs, a 20ms boot time reduction really isn't worth the time wasted on bisecting this issue. Matt discovered this problem while working on adding support for the WatchGuard Firebox M200 to the qoriq target, where it caused some characters to be missing on the console output.
