Note that this trick only works if you put it into the DRM_AMDGPU Kconfig option
itself, since that decides if the driver is built-in or a loadable module. If
HSA_AMD is disabled, that dependency is not really necessary.

The version I suggested  -- adding "depends on AMD_IOMMU_V2=y ||
DRM_AMDGPU=m" to the HSA_AMD option -- might be slightly nicer
since it lets you still build a kernel with DRM_AMDGPU=y and
AMD_IOMMU_V2=m, but without the HSA_AMD.

I can send a patch with either of those two options to replace my
original patch.

This would fix the compile-time error, but it's also the one I'd least
recommend out of all the options, because that causes the driver to
silently not work as expected. This seems even worse than failing
the build.
