Select this from any driver that benefits from CMA being enabled
config DMA_CMA
bool "Use CMA helpers for DRM"
default DRM_WANT_CMA

That's precisely what I had first, with an additional "WANT_CMA" -- but
looking at the number of such existing options (I was able to spot 1 !)
If you do this it probably makes sense to fix a few other drivers
Kconfig in the process. It's not just a problem with your driver.
"my" drivers:
:) I actually wanted to convert them to "depends on DMA_CMA" but ran
into recursive dependencies ...
drivers/gpu/drm/mcde/Kconfig
drivers/gpu/drm/pl111/Kconfig
drivers/gpu/drm/tve200/Kconfig
I was assuming these are "real" dependencies. Will it also work without
DMA_CMA?
certainly needs this as well, and pretty much anything that is
selecting DRM_KMS_CMA_HELPER or
DRM_GEM_CMA_HELPER "wants" DMA_CMA.
"wants" as in "desires to use but can life without" or "wants" as in
"really needs it". ?
