Hm ... the thing that actually builds fbdev emulation is
DRM_FBDEV_EMULATION, and you can disable that. Otoh the select FB stuff
seems to be at the wrong level and probably should be moved.

But indeed I tried doing this and it's an impossible config. I guess I
need to type a patch to ditch all these selects from drivers ;-)
