Or are select operations not transitive ?
DRM_DISPLAY_HELPER enables the module itself. It's tristate. DRM_DISPLAY_HDMI_HELPER, DRM_DISPLAY_DP_HELPER, etc are the individual features of the helper module. Each is a boolean. Drivers can enable them according to their needs. This split allows linking correctly in all cases, even if some drivers are built-in and others are modules. This didn't always work with the original patches.
Best regards Thomas
