When the R-Car MIPI DSI driver was added, it was a standalone encoder
driver without any dependency to or from the R-Car DU driver. Commit
957fe62d7d15 ("drm: rcar-du: Fix DSI enable & disable sequence") then
added a direct call from the DU driver to the MIPI DSI driver, without
updating Kconfig to take the new dependency into account. Fix it the
same way that the LVDS encoder is handled.

Interesting dependency issue. Took me a while to understand it =).

But is there a reason to not have "depends on DRM_RCAR_DU" for
DRM_RCAR_USE_MIPI_DSI and DRM_RCAR_USE_LVDS? Now the menu items are
available even if RCAR_DU is n. That's also the case for
DRM_RCAR_DW_HDMI, but I'm not sure if that's supposed to be usable even
without RCAR_DU.

See
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-renesas-soc/cover.1639559338.git.geert+renesas@xxxxxxxxx/

Didn't get to implement the suggested improvements yet...

Ok, looks good.

But I started to wonder, for LVDS and DSI (maybe for HDMI too), what's the point of modules here...

If RCAR_DU, LVDS and DSI are compiled as modules, you can load either LVDS or DSI module, but those won't do anything alone. So in practice you always need to load RCAR_DU module too. But if LVDS or DSI are enabled in the kconfig, you _have_ to load those before RCAR_DU.

In other words, you can never, e.g. load RCAR_DU and LVDS, but not DSI, if all three are enabled.

So why not just compile LVDS and DSI into the RCAR_DU module, simplifying the dependencies, removing this issue altogether?
