It's weird.  The same config file builds successfully on
linux-next of Mar. 27.

I looked more at linux-next of Mar. 26 and found one problem:
in drivers/gpu/drm/Kconfig, there is a "select USB" that should be
protected by "depends on USB_ARCH_HAS_HCD".  I did that and then
kconfig complained about unmet dependencies in drivers/gpu/drm/udl/Kconfig,
so I added the same "depends on" there.  That led into an awful mess:

drivers/video/Kconfig:36:error: recursive dependency detected!
drivers/video/Kconfig:36:	symbol FB is selected by DRM_KMS_HELPER
drivers/gpu/drm/Kconfig:26:	symbol DRM_KMS_HELPER is selected by DRM_UDL
drivers/gpu/drm/udl/Kconfig:1:	symbol DRM_UDL depends on USB_ARCH_HAS_HCD
drivers/usb/Kconfig:78:	symbol USB_ARCH_HAS_HCD depends on USB_ARCH_HAS_OHCI
drivers/usb/Kconfig:24:	symbol USB_ARCH_HAS_OHCI depends on I2C
drivers/i2c/Kconfig:5:	symbol I2C is selected by FB_DDC
drivers/video/Kconfig:86:	symbol FB_DDC is selected by FB_CYBER2000_DDC
drivers/video/Kconfig:385:	symbol FB_CYBER2000_DDC depends on FB_CYBER2000
drivers/video/Kconfig:373:	symbol FB_CYBER2000 depends on FB

and I don't know what to do with this.

Anyway, I do think that the problem is in drivers/gpu/drm/Kconfig
and drivers/gpu/drm/udl/Kconfig.
