Subject: [PATCH v2] drm: bridge: fix unmet dependency on DRM_KMS_HELPER for DRM_PANEL_BRIDGE

When DRM_CHIPONE_ICN6211 is selected, and DRM_KMS_HELPER is not selected,
Kbuild gives the following warning:

WARNING: unmet direct dependencies detected for DRM_PANEL_BRIDGE
  Depends on [n]: HAS_IOMEM [=y] && DRM_BRIDGE [=y] && DRM_KMS_HELPER [=n]
  Selected by [y]:
  - DRM_CHIPONE_ICN6211 [=y] && HAS_IOMEM [=y] && DRM [=y] && DRM_BRIDGE [=y] && OF [=y]

This is because DRM_CHIPONE_ICN6211 selects DRM_PANEL_BRIDGE
without depending on or selecting DRM_KMS_HELPER,
despite DRM_PANEL_BRIDGE depending on DRM_KMS_HELPER.

This unmet dependency bug was detected by Kismet,
a static analysis tool for Kconfig.
Please advise if this is not the appropriate solution.

v2:
- changed from "select" to "depends on"

Fixes: ce517f18944e ("drm: bridge: Add Chipone ICN6211 MIPI-DSI to RGB bridge")
