Thanks for the A-b. I built with DRM_LEGACY set and unset.

The GEM changes shouldn't be affected by the config. With the CMA 
helpers in a separate module, we could maybe remove 
CONFIG_DRM_KMS_CMA_HELPER and link drm_fb_cma_helper.o if 
CONFIG_DRM_KMS_HELPER has been selected.

Best regards
Thomas
