same comment as in the previous version of this patch. What I don't like
is that it doesn't prevent you to do a bad selection. Instead if you set
DRM_XE=y and DRM_I915=y, you lose DRM_XE_DISPLAY. Silently. This is
equivalent of chosing the options via make menuconfig:

	# initial state
	./scripts/config --state CONFIG_DRM_XE --state CONFIG_DRM_XE_DISPLAY --state CONFIG_DRM_I915
	m
	y
	m

	# set CONFIG_DRM_XE to built-in
	./scripts/config -e CONFIG_DRM_XE && make -s olddefconfig
	./scripts/config --state CONFIG_DRM_XE --state CONFIG_DRM_XE_DISPLAY --state CONFIG_DRM_I915
	y
	y
	m

	# set CONFIG_DRM_I915 to built-in, we lose display with xe
	$ ~/p/linux-dim/drm-xe-next/scripts/config --state CONFIG_DRM_XE --state CONFIG_DRM_XE_DISPLAY --state CONFIG_DRM_I915
	y
	undef
	y

I'm not sure how to prevent setting CONFIG_DRM_I915=y if
CONFIG_DRM_XE_DISPLAY is selected.
