What is there to fix? You can build the HDMI fine without the DU driver,
when compile-testing.

The HDMI and DSI drivers are separate drivers that can be (test)compiled,
regardless of DRM_RCAR_DU is enabled or not.

The DRM_RCAR_USE_LVDS symbol is different: enabling it does not
have any impact on the kernel build when DRM_RCAR_DU=y.
