This will unfortunately force FB_CORE=y even with DRM=m, it would be nice
to allow both to be loadable modules. Any of these should work:

a) Add another hidden symbol like

config DRM_FB_CORE
      def_tristate DRM && DRM_FBDEV_EMULATION
      select FB_CORE

b) move the 'select' to DRM

config DRM
      tristate "Direct Rendering Manager (XFree86 4.1.0 and higher DRI support)"
      select FB_CORE if DRM_FBDEV_EMULATION

c) Remove the 'select' and instead use the default 

config FB_CORE
     def_tristate FB || (DRM && DRM_FBDEV_EMULATION)

       Arnd
