I'm doing a test: since I'm not sure if:

select VIDEOMODE_HELPERS

is actually needed in Kconfig nt35532 entry, I've temporarily
removed that select line and regenerated .config file. Though,
I've noticed CONFIG_VIDEOMODE_HELPERS was still set to 'y'
nevetheless, so I decided to not going forward since that
code would have been built anyway so that there was no
point for doing that. I wonder: is that select line really
necessary, at this point?
