    Hiding tristate options with "if EXPERT" is usually not a good idea.
    You can decide that the driver should be included by default, but you
    don't know if the user wants it built-in or as a module. Hiding the
    option prevents the user from making that decision.
    
    This is even more problematic when said option selects other options.
    You end up with several device drivers forcibly built into the kernel.
    
    In this specific case, drivers 8250_mid, virt-dma, hsu_dma and
    hsu_dma_pci end up being built-in as soon as SERIAL_8250=y. It is
    very common for distribution kernels to build the subsystem core code
    into the kernel, because almost everybody will need it, but build all
    the device drivers as modules. This should be made possible.
    
    So drop the "if EXPERT" and make SERIAL_8250_MID visible.
