Hi,

this breaks build on openSUSE's armv7hl config:
$ wget -O .config https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openSUSE/kernel-source/stable/config/armv7hl/default
$ make -j168 CROSS_COMPILE=arm-suse-linux-gnueabi- ARCH=arm vmlinux
...
   LD      .tmp_vmlinux.btf
arm-suse-linux-gnueabi-ld: drivers/gpu/drm/panel/panel-simple.o: in function `panel_simple_probe': drivers/gpu/drm/panel/panel-simple.c:803: undefined reference to `drm_panel_dp_aux_backlight'
$ grep -E 'CONFIG_(DRM|FB|DRM_KMS_HELPER|DRM_FBDEV_EMULATION)\>' .config
CONFIG_DRM=y
CONFIG_DRM_KMS_HELPER=m
CONFIG_DRM_FBDEV_EMULATION=y
CONFIG_FB=y

5.16-rc1 builds just fine -- investigating why…

CLearly because the code moved to panel-edp.c. So doing:
-CONFIG_DRM_PANEL_EDP=m
+CONFIG_DRM_PANEL_EDP=y
leads to the same error in that file:
arm-suse-linux-gnueabi-ld: drivers/gpu/drm/panel/panel-edp.o: in function `panel_edp_probe': drivers/gpu/drm/panel/panel-edp.c:843: undefined reference to `drm_panel_dp_aux_backlight'

My previous patch correctly addressed the possible link failure, but as
Jani points out, the dependency is now stricter than it needs to be.

Change it again, to allow DRM_FBDEV_EMULATION to be used when
DRM_KMS_HELPER and FB are both loadable modules and DRM is linked into
the kernel.

As a side-effect, the option is now only visible when at least one DRM
driver makes use of DRM_KMS_HELPER. This is better, because the option
has no effect otherwise.
