Arnd Bergmann c40ca9ef7c drm: select DRM_KMS_HELPER from DRM_GEM_SHMEM_HELPER
In the combination of DRM_KMS_HELPER=m, DRM_GEM_SHMEM_HELPER=y, DRM_FBDEV_EMULATION=y,
The shmem code fails to link against the KMS helpers:

x86_64-linux-ld: vmlinux.o: in function `drm_fbdev_shmem_driver_fbdev_probe':
(.text+0xeec601): undefined reference to `drm_fb_helper_alloc_info'
x86_64-linux-ld: (.text+0xeec633): undefined reference to `drm_fb_helper_fill_info'
x86_64-linux-ld: vmlinux.o: in function `drm_fbdev_shmem_get_page':
drm_fbdev_shmem.c:(.text+0xeec7d2): undefined reference to `drm_gem_fb_get_obj'
x86_64-linux-ld: vmlinux.o: in function `drm_fbdev_shmem_fb_mmap':
drm_fbdev_shmem.c:(.text+0xeec9f6): undefined reference to `drm_gem_fb_get_obj'
x86_64-linux-ld: vmlinux.o: in function `drm_fbdev_shmem_defio_imageblit':
(.rodata+0x5b2288): undefined reference to `drm_fb_helper_check_var'
x86_64-linux-ld: (.rodata+0x5b2290): undefined reference to `drm_fb_helper_set_par'

This can happen for a number of device drivers that select DRM_GEM_SHMEM_HELPER
without also selecting DRM_KMS_HELPER. To work around this, add another select
that forces DRM_KMS_HELPER to be built-in rather than a loadable module, but
only if FBDEV emulation is also enabled. DRM_TTM_HELPER and DRM_GEM_DMA_HELPER
look like they have the same problem in theory even if there is no possible
configuration that shows it. For consistency, do the same change to those.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
