The problem doesn't trigger in mainline, as DRM_I915 can't be enabled on
!X86; https://github.com/kilobyte/linux branch i915 has a WIP port.  Some
unrelated piece (I suspect ACPI changes, didn't bother to investigate) has
in the meantime grown enough bits to enable prerequsites that trigger:

WARNING: unmet direct dependencies detected for INTEL_MEI_ME
  Depends on [n]: X86 && PCI [=y]
  Selected by [y]:
  - INTEL_MEI_HDCP [=y] && DRM_I915 [=y]
  - INTEL_MEI_PXP [=y] && DRM_I915 [=y]

This doesn't cause an actual build failure, as drivers/misc/Makefile has
> obj-$(CONFIG_INTEL_MEI)         += mei/
which won't try to build mei/hdcp nor mei/pxp despite them being enabled
in the config.

Of all the settings in drivers/misc/mei/Kconfig, only these two (that
reside in their own subdirectories) lack this stanza.  You'd want to
deduplicate the selects one day -- but alas, "select" relations are not as
straightforward as "depends", thus I only did the same as for all other
settings in drivers/misc/mei/Kconfig.

Should I quote this warning in full in the commit message?  I thought that
"make ... depend on ..." already explains enough.

Also, as this lack of dependency is an obvious and self-contained change,
I decided to submit it directly via mei, rather than ask for an ACK then
spam you with every iteration of the patchset.  Should it go via drm/i915
instead?

(I'd also like to apologize for sitting on this patchset so long, my
brain's firmware is faulty :/ ).
