DRM_FBDEV_EMULATION is not a module, it's just a config
knob. drm_fb_helper.ko is the module, enabled via DRM_KMS_HELPER, and it
has an implicit dependency on FB, and DRM_FBDEV_EMULATION selects
DRM_KMS_HELPER. Select just breaks dependencies in all kinds of ways.

This might help in config DRM_KMS_HELPER, and it might help the reader
because it's factual:

	depends on FB if DRM_FBDEV_EMULATION
