Looking at the files in rcar_du that utilise drm_atomic_helpers...

git grep -l drm_atomic_helper_ drivers/gpu/drm/rcar-du/
 drivers/gpu/drm/rcar-du/rcar_du_crtc.c
 drivers/gpu/drm/rcar-du/rcar_du_kms.c
 drivers/gpu/drm/rcar-du/rcar_du_plane.c
 drivers/gpu/drm/rcar-du/rcar_du_vsp.c
 drivers/gpu/drm/rcar-du/rcar_du_writeback.c
 drivers/gpu/drm/rcar-du/rcar_lvds.c

of those, these are configurable:

 rcar_du_vsp.c		# DRM_RCAR_VSP
 rcar_du_writeback.c	# DRM_RCAR_WRITEBACK
 rcar_lvds.c		# DRM_RCAR_LVDS

But VSP and WRITEBACK are already implicitly dependant upon DRM_RCAR_DU
because they get built into the DU module.

So indeed, only the RCAR_LVDS is a separate module, using those helpers,
so I think a select is a reasonable fix.

I would also ask whether DRM_RCAR_LVDS should depend upon DRM_RCAR_DU
though as well.

There is no linkage requirement, as it's a standalone bridge driver from
what I can see, but I don't think it serves much purpose without the DU?

Anyway, even if it's just for compile testing maybe, the select here
should be fine.
