The latter 2 are simple to fix:
in drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/Kconfig, for config DRM_NOUVEAU:

@@ -11,6 +11,7 @@ config DRM_NOUVEAU
 	select FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE if !EMBEDDED

 	help
 	  Choose this option for open-source nVidia support.


The first 2 are a problem.  I'd like to add "depends on HWMON" to DRM_NOUVEAU,
but doing so gives:

drivers/video/Kconfig:30:error: recursive dependency detected!
drivers/video/Kconfig:30:	symbol FB is selected by DRM_KMS_HELPER
drivers/gpu/drm/Kconfig:22:	symbol DRM_KMS_HELPER is selected by DRM_NOUVEAU
drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/Kconfig:1:	symbol DRM_NOUVEAU depends on HWMON
drivers/hwmon/Kconfig:5:	symbol HWMON is selected by THINKPAD_ACPI
drivers/platform/x86/Kconfig:232:	symbol THINKPAD_ACPI depends on INPUT
drivers/input/Kconfig:8:	symbol INPUT is selected by VT
drivers/char/Kconfig:7:	symbol VT is selected by FB_STI
drivers/video/Kconfig:636:	symbol FB_STI depends on FB

so that must not be the right thing to do.  Aha, that change along with
changing all "select FB" (in drivers/gpu/drm/*) to "depends on FB"
fixes the kconfig warnings.  But feel free to fix it some other way.

My working patch is below.

From: Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap at oracle.com>

Fix drm and drm/nouveau kconfigs so that build succeeds and
kconfig warnings are eliminated.

Fixes these build errors:
ERROR: "hwmon_device_unregister" [drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau.ko] undefined!
ERROR: "hwmon_device_register" [drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau.ko] undefined!
ERROR: "video_output_unregister" [drivers/acpi/video.ko] undefined!
ERROR: "video_output_register" [drivers/acpi/video.ko] undefined!
