Subject: [PATCH 5.15 808/917] drm: fb_helper: improve CONFIG_FB dependency

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@...db.de>

[ Upstream commit 9d6366e743f37d36ef69347924ead7bcc596076e ]

My previous patch correctly addressed the possible link failure, but as
Jani points out, the dependency is now stricter than it needs to be.

Change it again, to allow DRM_FBDEV_EMULATION to be used when
DRM_KMS_HELPER and FB are both loadable modules and DRM is linked into
the kernel.

As a side-effect, the option is now only visible when at least one DRM
driver makes use of DRM_KMS_HELPER. This is better, because the option
has no effect otherwise.
