Thank's! Will drop "default m".

This driver will not do anything if API is not enabled. It only call
acpi_video_register/acpi_video_unregister, and acpi/video.h handle it
like the following:

#if (defined CONFIG_ACPI_VIDEO || defined CONFIG_ACPI_VIDEO_MODULE)
extern int acpi_video_register(void);
extern void acpi_video_unregister(void);
extern int acpi_video_get_edid(struct acpi_device *device, int type,
                               int device_id, void **edid);
#else
static inline int acpi_video_register(void) { return 0; }
static inline void acpi_video_unregister(void) { return; }
static inline int acpi_video_get_edid(struct acpi_device *device, int
type,
                                      int device_id, void **edid)
{
        return -ENODEV;
}
#endif

So, I think don't need add "depends on ACPI_VIDEO". How do you think?

Yes, thank's for your review, I will add:
	depends on PCI


Thank's a lot!
