Make ICR access helpers available outside 8250_port.c, however retain
them as ordinary static functions so as not to regress code generation.
This is because `serial_icr_write' is currently automatically inlined by
GCC, however `serial_icr_read' is not. Making them both static inline
would grow code produced, e.g.:
$ i386-linux-gnu-size --format=gnu 8250_port-{old,new}.o
text data bss total filename
15065 3378 0 18443 8250_port-old.o
15289 3378 0 18667 8250_port-new.o
and:
$ riscv64-linux-gnu-size --format=gnu 8250_port-{old,new}.o
text data bss total filename
16980 5306 0 22286 8250_port-old.o
17124 5306 0 22430 8250_port-new.o
while making them external would needlessly add a new module interface
and lose the benefit from `serial_icr_write' getting inlined outside
8250_port.o.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
