Subject: drm/nouveau: Only select ACPI_VIDEO if its dependencies are met
From: Ben Hutchings <[email protected]>
commit c42988012ad9c1807b7c7a5ff855cd630094989b upstream.
CONFIG_ACPI_VIDEO depends on more than just CONFIG_ACPI, so add those
dependencies to the Kconfig select condition. The case where some
dependencies fail to be satisfied should be handled correctly, because
in that case the ACPI_VIDEO symbols we use are converted into
static-inline stubs.
