Then there is a bug. If I run 'make menuconfig' now on a mainline kernel
and enable CONFIG_DRM_RCAR_DU, I can set
DRM_RCAR_CMM and DRM_RCAR_LVDS to 'y', 'n' or 'm' regardless
of whether CONFIG_DRM_RCAR_DU is 'm' or 'y'. The 'implies'
statement seems to be ignored entirely, except as reverse 'default'
setting.

That doesn't work because it allows DRM_RCAR_DU=y with
DRM_RCAR_CMM=m, which causes a link failure.
