This is caused by cris not using the generic drivers/Kconfig, and thus not
traversing drivers/video/console/Kconfig.
As the build system does traverse drivers/video/console/Makefile, fonts.c
is compiled with an inconsistent configuration.

Two solutions:
  1. Add drivers/video/console/Kconfig to arch/cris/Kconfig,
  2. Switch cris to drivers/Kconfig,

I prefer two, as this is what's done by all (except h8300) other
architectures. This will seriously broaden the scope of allmodconfig,
though, and require more fixes (e.g. missing <asm/vga.h>).

Note: The decision logic for compiling drivers/video/console/fonts.c is
      overly complicated, and seems to be buggy for some stuff living
      outside drivers drivers/video (drivers/media/platform/vivi.c and
      drivers/staging/media/solo6x10/solo6x10-enc.c). I think this should
      be resolved in Kconfig logic, using a new FONT_SUPPORT
      symbol (FONTS is already taken).
