I agree that would be nice, but I failed to come to a proper solution
here. FWIW, there
is one circular dependency that I managed to avoid by changing all
drivers that select FB_DDC
to depend on I2C rather than selecting it:

drivers/i2c/Kconfig:8:error: recursive dependency detected!
drivers/i2c/Kconfig:8: symbol I2C is selected by FB_DDC
drivers/video/fbdev/Kconfig:63: symbol FB_DDC depends on FB
drivers/video/fbdev/Kconfig:12: symbol FB is selected by DRM_KMS_FB_HELPER
drivers/gpu/drm/Kconfig:80: symbol DRM_KMS_FB_HELPER depends on DRM_KMS_HELPER
drivers/gpu/drm/Kconfig:74: symbol DRM_KMS_HELPER is selected by DRM_SIL_SII8620
drivers/gpu/drm/bridge/Kconfig:89: symbol DRM_SIL_SII8620 depends on EXTCON
drivers/extcon/Kconfig:2: symbol EXTCON is selected by CHARGER_MANAGER
drivers/power/supply/Kconfig:482: symbol CHARGER_MANAGER depends on POWER_SUPPLY
drivers/power/supply/Kconfig:2: symbol POWER_SUPPLY is selected by
HID_BATTERY_STRENGTH
drivers/hid/Kconfig:29: symbol HID_BATTERY_STRENGTH depends on HID
drivers/hid/Kconfig:8: symbol HID is selected by I2C_HID
drivers/hid/i2c-hid/Kconfig:5: symbol I2C_HID depends on I2C

After that, Kconfig crashes with a segfault:

drivers/video/fbdev/Kconfig:12:error: recursive dependency detected!
drivers/video/fbdev/Kconfig:12: symbol FB is selected by DRM_KMS_FB_HELPER
drivers/gpu/drm/Kconfig:80: symbol DRM_KMS_FB_HELPER depends on DRM_KMS_HELPER

drivers/extcon/Kconfig:2: symbol EXTCON is selected by CHARGER_MANAGER
drivers/power/supply/Kconfig:482: symbol CHARGER_MANAGER depends on POWER_SUPPLY
drivers/power/supply/Kconfig:2: symbol POWER_SUPPLY is selected by HID_ASUS
drivers/hid/Kconfig:150: symbol HID_ASUS depends on LEDS_CLASS
drivers/leds/Kconfig:17: symbol LEDS_CLASS depends on NEW_LEDS
drivers/leds/Kconfig:9: symbol NEW_LEDS is selected by SENSORS_APPLESMC
drivers/hwmon/Kconfig:327: symbol SENSORS_APPLESMC depends on HWMON
drivers/hwmon/Kconfig:6: symbol HWMON is selected by EEEPC_LAPTOP
drivers/platform/x86/Kconfig:260: symbol EEEPC_LAPTOP depends on ACPI_VIDEO
make[3]: *** [/git/arm-soc/scripts/kconfig/Makefile:71: randconfig]
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

After changing EEEPC_LAPTOP and THINKPAD_ACPI to 'depends on HWMON' instead of
'select HWMON', I get this one:

drivers/video/fbdev/Kconfig:12:error: recursive dependency detected!
drivers/video/fbdev/Kconfig:12: symbol FB is selected by DRM_KMS_FB_HELPER
drivers/gpu/drm/Kconfig:80: symbol DRM_KMS_FB_HELPER depends on DRM_KMS_HELPER

drivers/gpu/drm/bridge/Kconfig:89: symbol DRM_SIL_SII8620 depends on EXTCON
drivers/extcon/Kconfig:2: symbol EXTCON is selected by CHARGER_MANAGER
drivers/power/supply/Kconfig:482: symbol CHARGER_MANAGER depends on POWER_SUPPLY
drivers/power/supply/Kconfig:2: symbol POWER_SUPPLY is selected by HID_ASUS
drivers/hid/Kconfig:150: symbol HID_ASUS depends on LEDS_CLASS
drivers/leds/Kconfig:17: symbol LEDS_CLASS depends on NEW_LEDS
drivers/leds/Kconfig:9: symbol NEW_LEDS is selected by BACKLIGHT_ADP8860
drivers/video/backlight/Kconfig:316: symbol BACKLIGHT_ADP8860 depends
on BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE
drivers/video/backlight/Kconfig:143: symbol BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE is
selected by FB_BACKLIGHT
drivers/video/fbdev/Kconfig:187: symbol FB_BACKLIGHT depends on FB

Changing all drivers that select 'FB_BACKLIGHT' or 'BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE' to
'depends on BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE' gets it to build.

The steps each seem reasonable, in particular since they mostly clean
up the legacy
fbdev drivers to what they should have done anyway, but it is quite
invasive in the end.
Any other ideas?
