You mean just drop the "default DRM_RCAR_DU" here?

I'm wondering if we can solve this in a consistent way.
Currently we have:

    config DRM_RCAR_USE_CMM default DRM_RCAR_DU
    config DRM_RCAR_DW_HDMI default n
    config DRM_RCAR_USE_LVDS default DRM_RCAR_DU
    config DRM_RCAR_MIPI_DSI default n
    config DRM_RCAR_VSP default y if ARM64

HDMI is only used on R-Car Gen3 parts
MIPI_DSI is only used on R-Car Gen4 parts
LVDS is used on R-Car Gen2 and Gen3 parts

Thoughts?
