With 5.15.3, I had these errors on *one* of my boxes with Nvidia
drivers when building the nvidia drivers

Gentoo, nvidia-drivers-470.86

After "make oldconfig", many DRM settings have been lost. Enabling
"CONFIG_DRM_CIRRUS_QEMU" gets them back, though a better way should
be found.

$ grep CONFIG_DRM .config | grep -v "is not set$"
CONFIG_DRM=m
CONFIG_DRM_BRIDGE=y
CONFIG_DRM_PANEL_ORIENTATION_QUIRKS=m

Comparing with the working system, that has VMM installed, and hence

CONFIG_DRM_CIRRUS_QEMU=m

Setting this and things are working again.

$ zcat /proc/config.gz  > .config

$ ./scripts/config --enable CONFIG_DRM_CIRRUS_QEMU
