This series of patches are in preparation for enabling an additional tty and console for a S390 KVM guest using a virtio-gpu device[1]. One of the steps to do this would be to enable CONFIG_VT for S390, and this would also require the dummy console (CONFIG_DUMMY_CONSOLE). Patch 1 enables the "Graphics support" menu which is needed to enable dummy console, since the VT layer needs it. Patch 2 fixes a Kconfig dependency issue for opencores framebuffer devices. This issue was exposed by the previous patch.

Gr{oetje,eeting}s, Geert
Hi Geert, I wasn't sure what would be the best ordering since we would never hit the issue if patch 1 didn't exist. But if the preference is to invert the ordering of patches, then I will change the ordering. Thank you for reviewing. Thanks Farhan
