I was going to ask at what point we could just get rid of this Kconfig
symbol since it already depends on EXPERT anyways so most distros will
not enable it.

But I looked then and noticed that it was added just a few years ago in
commit 4be9bd10e22d "(drm/fb_helper: Allow leaking fbdev smem_start"),
so it seems that people still need that :(
