This series of patches are in preparation for enabling an additional
tty and console for a S390 KVM guest using a virtio-gpu device[1].
One of the steps to do this would be to enable CONFIG_VT for S390,
and this would also require the dummy console (CONFIG_DUMMY_CONSOLE).

Patch 1 enables the "Graphics support" menu which is
needed to enable dummy console, since the VT layer needs it.

Patch 2 fixes a Kconfig dependency issue for opencores
framebuffer devices. This issue was exposed by the previous
patch.

Thanks
Farhan

Shouldn't the order of your two patches be inverted, to avoid patch 1
introducing
build breakage fixed by patch 2?

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,

Hi Geert,

I wasn't sure what would be the best ordering since we would never hit the issue if patch 1 didn't exist. But if the preference is to invert the ordering of patches, then I will change the ordering.

Thank you for reviewing.

Thanks
Farhan
