Actually the ACPI part triggered a new warning that I haven't figured
out completely yet. Please disregard my patch for the moment.
I think we can just drop the dependency in ACPI_VIDEO, but I'm not
entirely sure yet if we could hit a broken configuration with THERMAL=m
and ACPI_VIDEO=y in that case. Unfortunately we cannot use the
same trick in ACPI_VIDEO that I used for ETNAVIV, because of
another circular dependency in ACPI.
