The drivers in this subsystem are for character-based LCD displays, which
can fall into the same category of the DRM/KMS and fbdev drivers that are
located under the "Graphics support" menu. Add auxdisplay there as well.

This is inside the "if HAS_IOMEM" section, while there was no
such limitation before.

Gah, I missed that. Thanks a lot for pointing it out.

If I move the source outside of the if block, are you OK with this patch?

I think Thomas is correct and would make sense to put the character-based
drivers next to the DRM and fbdev drivers since all these are for display.
