The DRM_SIL_SII8620 kconfig has a weak `imply` dependency
on EXTCON, which causes issues when sii8620 is built
as a builtin and EXTCON is built as a module.

The symptoms are 'undefined reference' errors caused
by the symbols in EXTCON not being available
to the sii8620 driver.

Hey Randy,

Thanks for looking at this!

I'm not sure how to avoid this circular dependency. The above solution
is what I've seen w/r to issues like [1]. Clearly it doesn't work in
this situation. `select EXTCON` doesn't seem to cause this dependency
error, but I'm not sure it accurately represents the dependency
sii8620 has on extcon.
