If I enable this config option, and turn off TTY I get the below errors.

drivers/built-in.o: In function `serport_ldisc_read':
serport.c:(.text+0x1aace6): undefined reference to `tty_name'
serport.c:(.text+0x1aad57): undefined reference to `tty_name'
drivers/built-in.o: In function `serport_init':
serport.c:(.init.text+0x8478): undefined reference to `tty_register_ldisc'
drivers/built-in.o: In function `serport_exit':
serport.c:(.exit.text+0xb29): undefined reference to `tty_unregister_ldisc'

All because MOUSE_PS2 depends on SERIO, just like a lot of entries I
blocked. I assume this means I should keep the dependency on TTY.
Unfortunately, I don't have time to dig deeper for the true cause of the
dependency right now.

(sorry), and I've heard SPAM blockers might eat HTML messages sent to
LKML people.
