Well, I'm having the same problems under 2.1.105. And I'm having additional
problems. I'm not able to configure UARTs above 16550A under 2.1.105. I'll
have to switch back to 2.1.104 to be able to use my Byterunner serial card (a
dumb serial card that supports UART 16650).

In my config below the reason I have CONFIG_SERIAL_MULTIPORT set was mainly
to see if things would work after setting it, I don't need it for the
Byterunner serial card. I soon discovered that once I had set that, I
needed CONFIG_SERIAL_SHARE_IRQ set, because rs_interrupt() isn't included
otherwise, and compilation of serial.c will fail.

Here's my .config:
