Thanks for the report. The MIPS update in -pre7 changed CONFIG_FB_MAXINE
from bool to dep_bool although no dependency was introduced (most likely
accidentially because the two symbols above got a dependency on
CONFIG_TC). "make xconfig" does the strictest checking and users the do
"make menuconfig" or "make oldconfig" don't see the problem. The
following patch fixes it:
