[PATCH 8/8] firmware: sysfb: Move CONFIG_FIRMWARE_EDID to firmware options

Move the Kconfig option for CONFIG_FIRMWARE_EDID to the firmware
subsystem. The option controls architecture and firmware code, so
it fits here better than in video.
Also make it depend on CONFIG_SYSFB. The EDID data is stored in
sysfb_primary_display and only useful with a sysfb framebuffer. This
further allows for removing an explicit test for CONFIG_FIRMWARE_EDID
from the EFI init code. For loongson, select CONFIG_SYSFB in the
defconfig files.
