Would you know the correct fix for this? I'm aware of the pattern
"select FOO || !FOO" but I guess it's also not applicable here?

In any case building DRM_PANEL_BRIDGE also needs to build
DRM_KMS_HELPER, otherwise the object files just don't get used.

Unfortunately I'm not versed well enough at all in Kconfig :/
