This broke the build. Looks like device_is_dependent() is not even exported.
ERROR: modpost: "device_is_dependent" [drivers/gpu/drm/drm_kms_helper.ko] undefined!

The recommended defconfigs in rerere-cache do seem to have CONFIG_DRM_KMS_HELPER=m
so this should have been caught before pushing. How did it slip through?
