It is a somewhat awkward way to say "prevent this symbol from
being =y if the dependency is =m".

What would be the right thing to do in the case here then to achieve the
"if DRMA_ASPEED_GFX is enabled, also enable DMA_CMA id possible"?

One approach could be to have for DMA_CMA

default y if DRMA_ASPEED_GFX

but it feels like the wrong way to tackle this.

I'm still not sure what you are trying to achieve. Is the idea only to provide
a useful default for DMA_CMA depending on which drivers are enabled?

This is something you could do using a hidden helper symbol like

config DRMA_ASPEED_GFX
       bool "Aspeed display driver"
       select DRM_WANT_CMA

config DRM_WANT_CMA
       bool
       help
          Select this from any driver that benefits from CMA being enabled

config DMA_CMA
       bool "Use CMA helpers for DRM"
       default DRM_WANT_CMA
