Configurations with both CONFIG_FB_SIMPLE=y and CONFIG_DRM_SIMPLEDRM=m are allowed by Kconfig because the 'depends on !DRM_SIMPLEDRM' dependency does not disallow FB_SIMPLE as long as SIMPLEDRM is not built-in. This can however result in a build failure when cfb_fillrect() etc are then also in loadable modules:
x86_64-linux-ld: drivers/video/fbdev/simplefb.o:(.rodata+0x1f8): undefined reference to `cfb_fillrect' x86_64-linux-ld: drivers/video/fbdev/simplefb.o:(.rodata+0x200): undefined reference to `cfb_copyarea' x86_64-linux-ld: drivers/video/fbdev/simplefb.o:(.rodata+0x208): undefined reference to `cfb_imageblit'
To work around this, change FB_SIMPLE to be a 'tristate' symbol, which still allows both to be =m together, but not one of them to be =y if the other one is =m. If a distro kernel picks this configuration, it can be determined by local policy which of the two modules gets loaded. The 'of_chosen' export is needed as this is the first loadable module referencing it.
Alternatively, the Kconfig dependency could be changed to 'depends on DRM_SIMPLEDRM=n', which would forbid the configuration with both drivers.

I've added a few CC tags and merged the patch into drm-misc-fixes. Thanks for your patience and perseverance.
