Random drivers should not override a user configuration of core knobs
(e.g., CONFIG_DMA_CMA=n). Applicable drivers would like to use DMA_CMA,
which depends on CMA, if possible; however, these drivers also have to
tolerate if DMA_CMA is not available/functioning, for example, if no CMA
area for DMA_CMA use has been setup via "cma=X". In the worst case, the
driver cannot do it's job properly in some configurations.
For example, commit 63f5677544b3 ("drm/etnaviv: select CMA and DMA_CMA if
available") documents
While this is no build dependency, etnaviv will only work correctly
on most systems if CMA and DMA_CMA are enabled. Select both options
if available to avoid users ending up with a non-working GPU due to
a lacking kernel config.
So etnaviv really wants to have DMA_CMA, however, can deal with some cases
where it is not available.
Let's introduce WANT_DMA_CMA and use it in most cases where drivers
select CMA/DMA_CMA, or depend on DMA_CMA (in a wrong way via CMA because
of recursive dependency issues).
We'll assume that any driver that selects DRM_GEM_CMA_HELPER or
DRM_KMS_CMA_HELPER would like to use DMA_CMA if possible.
With this change, distributions can disable CONFIG_CMA or
CONFIG_DMA_CMA, without it silently getting enabled again by random
drivers. Also, we'll now automatically try to enabled both, CONFIG_CMA
and CONFIG_DMA_CMA if they are unspecified and any driver is around that
selects WANT_DMA_CMA -- also implicitly via DRM_GEM_CMA_HELPER or
DRM_KMS_CMA_HELPER.
For example, if any driver selects WANT_DMA_CMA and we do a
"make olddefconfig":
1. With "# CONFIG_CMA is not set" and no specification of
"CONFIG_DMA_CMA"
-> CONFIG_DMA_CMA won't be part of .config
2. With no specification of CONFIG_CMA or CONFIG_DMA_CMA
Contiguous Memory Allocator (CMA) [Y/n/?] (NEW)
DMA Contiguous Memory Allocator (DMA_CMA) [Y/n/?] (NEW)
3. With "# CONFIG_CMA is not set" and "# CONFIG_DMA_CMA is not set"
-> CONFIG_DMA_CMA will be removed from .config
Note: drivers/remoteproc seems to be special; commit c51e882cd711
("remoteproc/davinci: Update Kconfig to depend on DMA_CMA") explains that
there is a real dependency to DMA_CMA for it to work; leave that dependency
in place and don't convert it to a soft dependency.

Let's see if this approach is better for soft dependencies (and if we
actually have some hard dependencies in there). This is the follow-up
of
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210408092011.52763-1-david@xxxxxxxxxx

I was wondering if it would make sense in some drivers to warn if either
CONFIG_DMA_CMA is not available or if DRM_CMA has not been configured
properly - just to give people a heads up that something might more likely
go wrong; that would, however, be future work.
v2 -> v3:
- Don't use "imply" but instead use a new WANT_DMA_CMA and make the default
of CMA and DMA_CMA depend on it.
- Also adjust ingenic, mcde, tve200; these sound like soft dependencies as
well (although DMA_CMA is really desired)
v1 -> v2:
- Fix DRM_CMA -> DMA_CMA
