Unfortunately, this is wrong, because the current expression
exploits one of the finer details of Kconfig syntax:

DRM_PANEL is bool, while DRM is tristate. If DRM=m and DRM_PANEL=y,
these two options can only be 'n' or 'm' but not 'y' with the current
code, but they can be 'y' if you drop the explicit DRM dependency,
which will cause a link failure.

The DRM_PANEL dependency can be removed, it is indeed unnecessary.
