When moving the Sitronix DRM drivers and renaming their Kconfig symbols,
the old symbols were kept, aiming to provide a seamless migration path
when running "make olddefconfig" or "make oldconfig".
However, the old compatibility symbols are not visible. Hence unless
they are selected by another symbol (which they are not), they can never
be enabled, and no backwards compatibility is provided.
Fix this by making them visible, and inverting the selection logic.
Add comments to make it clear why there are two symbols with the same
description.
These symbols were only meant for variants of 'make oldconfig' to pick
up th enew symbols. They where never for being selected manually.
But that pick-up does not work, unfortunately...
(I know, I had one of them enabled in one of my configs ;-)
I see.
The alternative is to just drop the old symbols, and ignore current users.
Which is not that uncommon...
If there's no easy fix for the current setup, I'd prefer removing the
old symbols.
Best regards
