I don't think any compile-time output is a good idea here, a 'make -s'
build should really have no output whatsoever (and usually does).

I see that DRM_AMD_DC is already 'default y', which I would hope
to be sufficient. If you want something stronger than that, you could
make hide the option and leave it always-on unless CONFIG_EXPERT
is enabled:
