[PATCH] drm: fb_helper: improve CONFIG_FB dependency

[PATCH] drm: fb_helper: improve CONFIG_FB dependency

[Arnd Bergmann]

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

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.

Fixes: 606b102876e3 ("drm: fb_helper: fix CONFIG_FB dependency")
