Yuck, they could have made it look like 16550 at least...

Oh well, that's allright, select'ing it wont break anything anyway.

Ultimately, we can if we want have a list of all support 40x (and 4xx)
variants and select what we want in a given kernel build. Those variants
would themselves select the individual bits they care about...
