You wonder why there is no change in drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/Kconfig
and drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/Kconfig, right?

Yes, amdgpu and radeon are special because their toplevel Kconfig
symbols (DRM_AMDGPU and DRM_RADEON respectively) are defined in
drivers/gpu/drm/Kconfig. For the other 6 drivers it's in their own
Kconfig file.

If that isn't your concern, please retry explaining it to me.

Best regards
Uwe
