This is more a DRM_DW_HDMI issue than a CEC issue IMHO.
This will fix this:
config DRM_DW_HDMI
tristate
select DRM_KMS_HELPER
select REGMAP_MMIO
select CEC_CORE if CEC_NOTIFIER <<<<<<
config DRM_DW_HDMI_CEC
tristate "Synopsis Designware CEC interface"
depends on DRM_DW_HDMI
select CEC_CORE
select CEC_NOTIFIER
help
Support the CE interface which is part of the Synopsis
Designware HDMI block.
This makes sense: if DRM_DW_HDMI_CEC is disabled but another CEC module is
used instead (as is apparently the case for amlogic), then the
select CEC_CORE if CEC_NOTIFIER
line ensures that CONFIG_CEC_CORE has the right m/y value.
