The driver fails to build when the KMS helpers are disabled:

This is fairly hard to hit in randconfig drivers, but it eventually
did trigger for me in a configuration where all other DRM drivers
are loadable modules, but DRM_PANEL_WIDECHIPS_WS2401 was built-in.

Adding a dependency in all drivers that select DRM_MIPI_DBI avoids
the problem for now, adding the dependency in DRM_MIPI_DBI as well
should help make it easier to figure out why it breaks if someone
forgets the dependency the next time.

I see this warning on 5.17-rc8, but did not test it on linux-next,
which may already have a fix.

This symbol cannot be selected by users, so it's maybe not a good idea to depend on it. In fact, I've had to remove such a statement because it created a cyclic dependency. [1]

Making the drivers depend on KMS helpers is the right thing though. If there's a better solution, please let me know.

Best regards
