They were introduced by mistake in 3.7. Let's deprecate them now. For
the reasons, see the text in Kconfig below.

In 3.7 the 8250 module name was changed unintentionally from 8250 to
8250_core by commit 835d844d1a
(8250_pnp: do pnp probe before legacy probe). We then had to
re-introduce the old module options to ensure the old good
8250.nr_uart & co. still work. This can be done only by a very dirty
hack and we did it in f2b8dfd9e4
(serial: 8250: Keep 8250.<xxxx> module options functional after driver
rename).
That is so damn ugly so that I decided to revert to the old module
name and deprecate the new 8250_core options present in 3.7 and 3.8
only. The deprecation will happen in the following patch.
Note that this patch changes the hack above to support "8250_core.*",
because we now have "8250.*" natively.
