Please forgive my ignorance, but I don't understand how this works.
Could you explain what this is doing please?

I know you've explained above that it fixes it to optionally depend on
DRM_RCAR_MIPI_DSI ... but it's not making sense to me.

To me - this is saying we depend on DRM_RCAR_MIPI_DSI being enabled, or
not being enabled ... ? Which is like saying if (0 || 1) ?

I'm guessing I'm missing something obvious :-S
