I'm still not sure what you are trying to achieve. Is the idea only to provide
a useful default for DMA_CMA depending on which drivers are enabled?
This is something you could do using a hidden helper symbol like
config DRMA_ASPEED_GFX
bool "Aspeed display driver"
select DRM_WANT_CMA
config DRM_WANT_CMA
bool
help
Select this from any driver that benefits from CMA being enabled
config DMA_CMA
bool "Use CMA helpers for DRM"
default DRM_WANT_CMA
