Isn't this going to cause some pain to users because .config may not
have this symbol yet? Arguably this is somewhat mitigated by the fact
that both symbols are "default y", but technically somebody could have
DRM_I915_FBDEV=n in their .config and after this change fbdev emulation
will be switched on again.

I'm not sure how to upgrade more sanely, though, so perhaps this is just
a bullet that needs biting.
