Hi Arnd,

Thank you for the patch.

This looks a bit complicated, but at the same time probably as clean as
it can get with the existing Kconfig grammar. I don't believe the needs
of the rcar-du driver are really exotic, so better support for this in
Kconfig would be nice. Until that happens,

Dave or Daniel, I don't have other pending patches for v5.16, could you
pick this one up ? It fixes a build failure in -next.
