Subject: drm: select FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE_PRIMARY if we have FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE

From: Dave Airlie <[email protected]>

commit bf5192edcbc1f0a7f9c054649dbf1a0b3210d9b7 upstream.

Multi-gpu/switcheroo relies on this option to get the console on the
correct GPU at bootup, some distros enable it but it seems some get
it wrong.
