This means you are using in userland "setserial -W /dev/ttyS?",
which is no more supported: it does no more means anything.

Initially, it was used in Debian setup scripts to know if
serial support is available, as module or compiled in; if
this command failed, no serial support was compiled.

So, either modify your serial setup scripts, or ignore
the warning.
