Actually this fixes isn't the correct one AFAICT, it should probably be
either acad3fe650a5 ("drm/hisilicon: Removed the dependency on the mmu")
or a0f25a6bb319 ("drm/hisilicon/hibmc: Allow to be built if COMPILE_TEST
is enabled"). And those two commits should be mentioned in the description.

Maybe we can append the following two paragraphs to your commit message ?

The Kconfig symbol depended on MMU but that was dropped by commit acad3fe650a5
("drm/hisilicon: Removed the dependency on the mmu") because it already had as
a dependency ARM64 that already selects MMU.

But later, commit a0f25a6bb319 ("drm/hisilicon/hibmc: Allow to be built if
COMPILE_TEST is enabled") allowed the driver to be built for non-ARM64 when
the COMPILE_TEST is set but that could lead to unmet direct dependencies and
linking errors.

If you agree with the changes, I can do it before applying. Please let me know.
