[PATCH] tty: serial: serial-omap: depend on !8250_omap

Technically speaking this is not required. If both are enabled then the
Maikefile order says that 8250 one wins, the second is never probed.

If we choose to enable 8250_omap via defconfig then one might get supprised
that his console isn't working anymore since nothing says use ttySx
instead ttyOx.
This patch _tries_ to bring this to the users' attention by not showing
the serial-omap driver once the 8250 one is enabled. So the user might
choose to use the help text which says that this driver (8250_omap)
uses ttySx instead ttyOx.

This is my attempt to warn the defconfig user of the defconfig change
(which did not yet happen). Any suggestions?
